    Maybe (probably) he’s saying it to beat on LGBTQ people, but a broken clock and all that.

    I am not willing to give republicans the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their invocations of Obergefell v. Hodges to defend cousin-fucking. If you’d like to that’s your prerogative. But doing so is completely unearned on their part and suggests naivety on yours.

      I’m not giving him the benefit of the doubt. Blatant homophobe or no, it’s a valid legal argument that hasn’t been tested in court.

      Edit: Unless you have some caselaw already addressing this that I’m not aware of, I’m pretty sure we’re having two completely different conversations.
