My thoughts on today's Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage: http://t.co/fd4nzBmUBl

Marriage between a man and a woman was established by God, and no earthly court can alter that. http://t.co/1Kfw9l0KMG

This ruling must not be used as pretext by Washington to erode our right to religious liberty. http://t.co/1Kfw9l0KMG
—@BobbyJindal
I will never stop fighting for religious liberty and I hope our leaders in D.C. join me. http://t.co/1Kfw9l0KMG

Im a firm believer in traditional marriage, and I also believe the 10th Amendment leaves it to each state to decide this issue. #SCOTUS
—@GovernorPerry
#SCOTUS has spoken with a very divided voice on something only the Supreme Being can do - redefine marriage. http://t.co/3qcnV7Dz9C
—@GovMikeHuckabee
Today, 5 unelected judges redefined the foundational unit of society. Now it is the people's turn to speak #Marriage
