RUSH: Now, it\u2019s a big, big day at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

There was a snowstorm, six inches, but it has not stopped the long lines of people trying to get in to watch oral arguments at the Supreme Court on gay marriage and specifically the constitutionality of Proposition 8 in California. And guess what? The LA Times is reporting today that a lesbian who is the cousin of the chief justice is going to attend oral arguments. “Jean Podrasky, 48, a lesbian who wants to marry her partner, will be at Tuesday\u2019s US Supreme Court hearing on Proposition 8 in seating reserved for family members and guests of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“‘I am so excited,\u2019 said Podrasky, an accountant and the first cousin of the chief justice on his mother\u2019s side. ‘I feel quite honored and overwhelmed.'” Now, the LA times says, “Roberts is a conservative appointed by President George W. Bush in 2005. Podrasky, who is more liberal, said she rooted for his nomination to be approved by the US Senate. ‘He is family,\u2019 she said. Podrasky lives in San Francisco and usually sees Roberts only on family occasions. His mother is her godmother, whom she adores.<\/p>\n

“She said Roberts knows she is gay and introduced her along with other relatives during his Senate confirmation hearing. She hopes he will meet her partner of four years … during their Washington visit. The couple flew to Washington on Sunday. ‘He is a smart man,\u2019 she said. ‘He is a good man. I believe he sees where the tide is going. I do trust him. I absolutely trust that he will go in a good direction.'” So, you see, folks, the pressure is being brought to bear on these justices any way possible.<\/p>\n

Now the chief justice is faced with, “What do I do if I rule against my cousin? What will they think of me if I don\u2019t rule in favor of my family?” This is what I mean about the blurring of media citizenry and the stage, the Supreme Court. (New Castrati impression) “Mr. Limbaugh, it\u2019s a democracy and people can petition the government to work any which way they wish!” Yes, they can. But what happens at the Supreme Court is not democratic. It\u2019s the law. It should be insulated analysis, constitutionality, what have you. It should be insulated from all these other things.<\/p>\n

But, of course, it isn\u2019t and it has been for a long time.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a comparison here between this, gay marriage, and Roe v. Wade in one sense.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, we had stories last week. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll recall. There are studies — there are actually academic, scholarly studies — being undertaken and the focus of the stories last week was the money being spent on this research, even though we find ourselves in a sequester. What was it, there was $2.5 million dollars spent to study why 75% of lesbians are obese and gay males aren\u2019t. Homosexual men aren\u2019t; lesbians are obese, 75%. Why? That cost two and a half mill. There\u2019s another survey, or another project, spent, I think, $1.5 million to find out why lesbians are alcoholics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And, of course, the answers to the first case is they don\u2019t have to deal with men, so they don\u2019t have to worry about their appearance. They\u2019re not trying to please men. So they can be obese. It\u2019s no big deal. Alcohol, who knows? They\u2019re having to deal with women so they\u2019re drunk. Who knows? The bottom line is that if I were to now ask if any of that research is relevant in the case of the cousin of the chief justice, can you imagine the howls of protest I would get from people who do not know of these two studies that I would be bouncing off?<\/p>\n

In other words, the context? So I can\u2019t ask whether chief justice\u2019s lesbian cousin is any of those things, because people would think I\u2019m being mean. But I\u2019ll tell you what, seriously, on this Roe v. Wade versus this gay marriage business: One of the reasons why abortion so roils our culture is that it hasn\u2019t been democratically decided. The Supreme Court, nine people in black robes, just decided one day that abortion is in the Constitution, and that has led to constant acrimony.<\/p>\n

If they do the same thing here… You know, if gay marriage in this country were voted on by the people, fine. Okay. That\u2019s it. But if nine guys in black robes decide that “marriage” can be defined as two people of the same sex, we\u2019re gonna have the same kind of roiling of our culture that abortion has given us. My preference would be that the court leave this alone, send it back to the people, and let the people decide it. You know, abortion\u2019s not a big deal in the UK for this very reason. They\u2019ve decided it by votes of the people.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. No, no, I\u2019m telling you, you can\u2019t say that. I can\u2019t tell you the number of times people tell me, “You can\u2019t say that.” After I\u2019ve said it. He-he-he-he-he. Hell, even before, they said, “You can\u2019t say that.” And there\u2019s a bunch of stuff that you\u2019re not supposed to say. I\u2019ll give you an example, this gay marriage business. There\u2019s no question that the Supreme Court deciding the definition of marriage is gonna lead to another round of Roe v. Wade effects on our culture.<\/p>\n

In the UK, United Kingdom, abortion does not cause anything like it causes in this country in terms of controversy and people being at war with each other, because it was decided by a vote of the people. In this country, back in 1973, the Supreme Court, nine men in black robes said that they see the word “abortion” in the Constitution, and that women are entitled to one, and it\u2019s right there. It\u2019s not there, but these nine guys, well, at least five of them said it is, and one of them wrote an opinion on it. It became the law of the land and it has led to strife and controversy that will never end. And gay marriage, I think, is gonna do the same thing. <\/p>\n

If the Supreme Court once again does for gay marriage what it did for abortion, then we\u2019re gonna have never-ending cultural rift, strife, controversy over this, and it\u2019s gonna keep our culture and society ripped apart like abortion has. Now, what you can\u2019t say in discussing this, if you advocate it being left up to a vote of the people, what you can\u2019t say is that every time the issue has been on a ballot it\u2019s lost. Even in progressive California, Proposition 8 lost. The proposition was to redefine the meaning of marriage to include people of the same sex. That did not even pass in California. So the Supreme Court is being asked to overturn that on the basis the people of California acted and voted unconstitutionally.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

See, what you can\u2019t say is that if left up to a vote of the people, it won\u2019t become law, at least as we sit here today. The vast majority of the people in this country oppose it, contrary to what you hear in the media, and if it were left to a vote of the people, it would be voted down. But you can\u2019t say that. And what you also can\u2019t say is that the reason it\u2019s at the Supreme Court is precisely because it would be voted down if put to a vote by the public at large. And you also can\u2019t say that the Supreme Court is supposed to be insulated from the ebb and flow of popular culture movement and opinion. You can\u2019t say that. So you can\u2019t say any of the stuff that I just said. So I really didn\u2019t say it, \u2019cause you can\u2019t say it. <\/p>\n

If the Supreme Court goes ahead and finds that marriage can be whatever we want it to be, that it\u2019s not what we say it is now, I guarantee you it\u2019s gonna lead to the continued roiling of our culture and society as has happened with abortion, plain and simple. You see, what you can\u2019t say is that the courts can\u2019t let the people decide because the people always decide the wrong way, always. And that\u2019s why it has to be called a civil right. ‘Cause if you call something a civil right, no matter how wildly unpopular it is, then that opposition is bigotry, and therefore bigotry can be ignored, but you can\u2019t say any of this, really. So just be careful. Don\u2019t try this on your own out there. <\/p>\n

But you can\u2019t say that the reason gay marriage is being portrayed as a civil right is because it allows opponents of it to be called bigots. And what do you do with bigots? You put them down. You ignore them. You make fun of them and you discredit what they believe. So that\u2019s why it\u2019s a civil right. You can\u2019t say any of this stuff. That\u2019s why it\u2019s up for a vote, because the people would never do the right thing.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, here\u2019s the deal. Liberal policies are being imposed on the entire nation. They are being imposed, and they are to be. Those that haven\u2019t been, will be. That\u2019s the deal. Liberalism is being forced on the entire nation. If they cannot achieve it by the vote, then they will achieve it by judicial fiat. There is no saying “no” to the liberal agenda. There is no “no.” You can say “no,” but it\u2019s not gonna count. If you don\u2019t want it, and if a majority of people don\u2019t want it, doesn\u2019t matter; it\u2019s going to be forced on you. <\/p>\n

The reason this matters, gay marriage, the reason homosexual marriage is before the Supreme Court is because the people of California voted “no,” Proposition 8, they voted “no.” The courts, obviously run by the left, have said otherwise. The other issue before the court is the Defense of Marriage Act. That was passed by Congress and that was signed into law by President Clinton. Whether by direct vote or through their representatives, in both instances the people said “no” to homosexual marriage. <\/p>\n

Now, the liberals are trying to force five or six justices to say “yes,” and that\u2019s that. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s being called a civil right. You put civil right in front of any piece of legislation, and the odds are it\u2019ll pass because nobody\u2019s got the guts to vote “no” to a new civil right. Civil rights in this country means one thing: the end of discrimination based on race, usually, but now to include sexual orientation. So you say that there is a civil right being denied when two people of the same sex can\u2019t get married, then what does that make the opponents? It makes them bigots. People that oppose civil rights are called bigots. And what do you do with bigots? You ignore them and you put them down. You impugn them, and you use them to advance your cause. <\/p>\n

I dare say that if somebody wanted to legalize… take something that you find reprehensible. I don\u2019t know what it would be, but everybody opposes it. Somebody could propose it and call it a civil right, and it might have a chance of becoming a law simply because of the power of those two words, “civil rights.” So same-sex marriage and wiping out the Defense of Marriage Act is now a civil right. People that oppose it are bigots and nobody wants to be a bigot. But the thing you can\u2019t say is that if left to a vote of the people, same-sex marriage loses every time it\u2019s on the ballot. I think so far it\u2019s 30 times. State ballots, initiatives and other things, and the Defense of Marriage Act at the federal level. It\u2019s never passed. You wouldn\u2019t know that, would you, by listening to the pop culture media? <\/p>\n

You would think that this issue has overtaken everything, it\u2019s the most important issue to everybody and anybody, and that it has massive public support. And yet every time it\u2019s been voted on by the people it has gone down to defeat. That\u2019s why the courts have to get involved, because the people, according to the left, won\u2019t do the right thing. And liberal policies are to be imposed on the nation. It\u2019s the only way the country can become liberal is to have them imposed. People would never vote for the stuff. People never, ever vote for liberalism when that\u2019s what they know is ahead of them. When they know that a candidate is liberal — I\u2019m talking about nationally — when they know that a policy is liberal, when they know that a candidate is liberal, doesn\u2019t have a prayer, nationally. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it has to be imposed. You don\u2019t say “no” to them. There is no such thing as losing. There\u2019s no such thing as defeat. The arena of ideas doesn\u2019t matter. That\u2019s why they don\u2019t care to debate anything. It doesn\u2019t matter. Whether you oppose something or not, it doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s gonna happen. We\u2019re gonna impose our will and way of life on you, whether you like it or not. We\u2019re not gonna waste time trying to change your heart. We\u2019re not gonna waste time debating you and trying to change your mind. We\u2019re gonna impose it on you. And that\u2019s why we go to the courts, which is what\u2019s happening. Which takes us to audio sound bite number 13. This Week, ABC, roundtable discussion about gay marriage, Stephanopoulos talking to Karl Rove. This goes by in seven seconds.<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: Karl Rove, can you imagine the next presidential campaign a Republican candidate saying flat-out, “I am for gay marriage”?<\/p>\n

ROVE: I could.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, Karl Rove says that he can imagine in 2016 a Republican candidate saying flat-out he\u2019s for gay marriage. Now, I actually have one question. If left up to a vote of the people, same-sex marriage loses. So why would the Republican establishment be supporting it? Maybe that\u2019s a question that I\u2019m not supposed to ask. But I\u2019d like to know. If the issue would lose, as it always has if left up to a vote of the people, then why are the Republicans for it? If it\u2019s a losing issue, why not let the Democrats own it? Well, we know the answer, because the Republicans think — well, there\u2019s a whole lot of answers. But the Republicans are in a totally defensive posture and they think that they\u2019re losing because they\u2019re not enough like Democrats, which means they\u2019re not considered cool and hip, in one sense. <\/p>\n

But it still is interesting, isn\u2019t it? It would lose if put to a vote of the people, and yet the Republicans would support it. You remember how Obama warned the Supreme Court they better not rule against the will of the people right before the Obamacare ruling? He warned the Supreme Court they better not rule against the will of the people. Well, he never had the will of the people. The will of the people was never a majority in support of Obamacare, but that didn\u2019t matter. He wanted to intimidate the court, and it appears that it worked in a couple of instances. But wouldn\u2019t the Supreme Court be overturning the will of the people of California if they vote to overturn Proposition 8? Another thing, folks, I\u2019m not supposed to say or ask. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I could answer my question about the Republican Party and gay marriage even though it would lose to a vote of the public. The pressure is immense on Republicans to get hip with pop culture, including immigration reform, gun control, abortion, you name it. Remember, folks, liberalism is to be imposed on this nation. That\u2019s the goal. That\u2019s their goal. That\u2019s their objective. There aren\u2019t any votes. There won\u2019t be any popular opinion about it. It\u2019s gonna be imposed, unless people stand up and fight it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
