Scott Walker Backs Constitutional Amendment Allowing States To Ban Same-Sex Marriage
Source: Huffington Post
WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said Sunday that he supports a constitutional amendment that would bar the Supreme Court from granting marriage equality rights nationwide.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision this month that could grant, for once and for all, same-sex couples the right to wed across the country. But Walker said on ABC's "This Week" that he would support amending the constitution to protect states that still want to ban same-sex marriage.
"I personally believe that marriage is between one man and one woman," Walker, a prospective GOP presidential candidate, said. "If the court decides that, the only next approach is for those who are supporters of marriage being defined as between one man and one woman is ultimately to consider pursuing a constitutional amendment."
He added that "the decision on defining marriage should be left up to the states."

Yes, "Leave it up to the states," the battle cry of bigots and civil rights opponents since the days of segregation and slavery.
