Worst Quotes of the Week – July 23, 2022

“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.  In Obergefell, the court said, ‘No, we know better than you guys do, and now every state must, must sanction and permit gay marriage.’  I think that decision was clearly wrong when it was decided.  It was the court overreaching.”

Sen. Ted Cruz, on the 2015 Obergefell vs. Hodges Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage

He added, “Obergefell, like Roe v. Wade, ignored two centuries of our nation’s history.  Marriage was always an issue that was left to the states.  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.”

Mark Levin, offering his view of the environment, while criticizing President Joe Biden’s energy policies
