“The way the Constitution set up for you to advance that position is to convince your fellow citizens, and if you succeeded in convincing your fellow citizens, then your state would change the laws to reflect those views.

We saw states before Obergefell, some states were moving to allow gay marriage; other states were moving to allow civil partnerships. There were different standards that the states were adopting.”
“Without carbon dioxide, we die. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. The federal government doesn’t even have regulatory authority to regulate it. It’s not a pollutant. What is it? It is oxygen for plants. In essence, plants use carbon dioxide to create oxygen for you and me. Remember, we used to like the Amazon; we used to like trees; we used to like all those things. Well, they suck up our carbon dioxide and push out oxygen.”
