The Gift That Keeps On Giving (Update)

I found this little gem in a story at Pink News, uttered by none other than the Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum:

“The court has to stop being the judge and jury for the consciousness of America."

There's not a lot to say, except that he goes on, and it gets worse.

Update:
And in still another interview, he manages to blame same-sex marriage for the mess the Republicans made of the economy.

For some reason, Blogger won't accept the embed code, but you can watch the video at the link. Just to give you a sample of the word salad:
Marriage is not, Santorum said, solely about “a romantic relationship between two people.”

“It’s also about,” he added, “a unity of men and women, for the purposes of having and raising children, and giving the child their birthright, which is to be raised by their natural mother and natural father. When we have less of that in America — then society struggles and suffers. Economically, it suffers; socially, it suffers; morally, it suffers — and children are harmed.”

So we get Catholic dogma, "Save the Cheeldren!", and the economy, all in one lumpy package.

It must be a terrible disappointment to Sen. Frothy Mix that one of his favorite President's appointees came to the conclusion he did about the constitutionality of the ban. Tsk.
