Gay marriage fail: Paul Clement channels Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin

by | 31st, January 2013

ON gay marriage:

“I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers” –Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, September 13th, 2008.

“It is no exaggeration to say that the institution of marriage was a direct response to the unique tendency of opposite-sex relationships to produce unplanned and unintended offspring … Only opposite-sex relationships have the tendency to produce children without such advance planning (indeed, especially without advance planning),” – Paul Clement, January 22, 2013, who wants civil marriage just for heterosexuals.

Marriage is sacred to heterosexuals because it give the illusion of respectability to procreators? Maybe a gay couple who want to adopt can save the heteroes the pain of being bound for life because she got knocked up?

One of the people above is a work of parody…

As a partner at King & Spalding, Clement was hired in April 2011 by the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that federally defines marriage as between one man and one woman, after the U.S. Department of Justice decided to stop defending it
