National Review: Supreme Court Forces States to Perform Gay Marriages, 5–4
Each side, he said, must be “respect the dignity of the other.” Lindsay Graham agreed, adding that the sort of constitutional amendment that has been proposed by Governor Walker and Senator Cruz is simply not going to happen:
I am a proud defender of traditional marriage and believe the people of each state should have the right to determine their marriage laws. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that state bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional, and I will respect the Court’s decision. Furthermore, given the quickly changing tide of public opinion on this issue, I do not believe that an attempt to amend the U.S. Constitution could possibly gain the support of three-fourths of the states or a supermajority in the U.S. Congress. Rather than pursuing a divisive effort that would be doomed to fail, I am committing myself to ensuring the protection of religious liberties of all Americans.
