This is probably just an attempt to get some much-needed relevance, although I take his word that he’d do it:
"I think it is the role of the president to put the court back in the role as it should, which is not the final arbiter, not the creator of all these rights, not the inventor or amender of the constitution," Santorum, wrongly states.
In fact, the Founding Fathers gave that job to Congress, not the president. Just as with the presidency, only the House of Representatives can impeach a Supreme Court justice, and the Senate must try the case.
Santorum, speaking with Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), says he would start fixing the Supreme Court by enforcing DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 that banned the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages. The Supreme Court in 2013 ruled Section 3 of DOMA unconstitutional, but Santorum disagrees, saying the court's decision "wholly" was wrong.
"That's where I would start," Santorum says. "This was a decision that was extra-constitutional. That law is good, valid law and I would enforce that law."
Given that he’s polling at 0%, we don’t have anything to worry about. We do, however, need to make sure the Democrat wins.
P.S. Happy New Year. :)
