When it comes to same-sex marriage, focus is on ‘religious liberties’ for Scott Walker

The Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage on a national level, but that does not mean the discussion has to end there.

For Gov. Scott Walker, this means that the focus has now shifted to “religious liberties.”

The Wisconsin governor explained on Meet the Press Sunday to host Chuck Todd his past comments on the issue. Back in 2014, he said the “debate is over,” with regards to his state.

But on the national level, Walker said, there are things the next president should do.

“The most immediate thing the next president should be– I’ll certainly be involved in, is protecting people’s religious liberties,” he said.

He spoke of how religious liberty is “something that’s inherent in the constitution” and is “part of the Bill of Rights.”

Walker’s position seems like a safe and smart one.

Same-sex marriage is now the law of the land, regardless of Walker’s view or anyone else’s. But that does not mean the Supreme Court’s interpretation of marriage should trump the religious liberties of Americans.

In fact, support for religious liberty has actually increased following the Supreme Court ruling.
