When the mad dog radical right starts to bite its own tail [View all]

From the Huffpost:

And in a call with Indiana reporters on Tuesday, Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) similarly expressed support for limiting the marriage rights of certain people, saying he backed the Supreme Court overturning Loving v. Virginia, the 1967 case legalizing interracial marriage.

“So you would be OK with the Supreme Court leaving the question of interracial marriage to the states?” reporter Dan Carden of The Times of Northwest Indiana asked Braun.

“Yes,” the senator replied, later adding, “If you want that diversity to shine within our federal system, there are going to be rules and proceedings that are going to be out of synch maybe with what other states would do. That’s the beauty of the system.”

I would just LOVE to hear how the Republicans think they are going to argue a state's right to re-forbid interracial marriage before their own Clarence Thomas. I wonder what beauty they think Clarence and Ginni Thomas are going to find in THAT system?
