The Arkansas Republican objects to a judge’s ruling striking down the his state’s same-sex marriage ban. That, of course, means we should be more like Saudi Arabia.

State Sen. Jason Rapert appeared on the Dave Elswick radio show last week, where he discussed Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza’s decision that overturned the state’s constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman:

When judges assert the will of the people wholly in this country, they are pulling the rug out from underneath representative democracy. By the way, Saudi Arabia, they don’t live under the same kind of law that we do. They live under the law that they see fit to live under there. We have that right here, too. And that’s why there’s such an injustice here.

Of course, what Rapert doesn’t understand is something called the Constitution that doesn’t bend to the will of the governed when it comes to the Bill of Rights.

    Hear! Hear! We could really put a dent in the theft rates if we chopped off the right hand of the thief. If he does it again, none of that repeat felony offender stuff, we just cut off the other hand. Later, we go after the feet. Not wanting to let go to waste perfectly good hand and foot meat, we feed these body parts to our pigs.
