Tim Pool calls Obergefell v. Hodges same-sex marriage decision “unconstitutional and psychotic”
Pool: “I have gay married friends, and I'm fine with them being gay married, but this is not law. This is fascistic legislation from the bench without any cultural precedence. This is not democracy. This is not a republic.”

TIM POOL (HOST): In that regard about making the country better, Shane, we do have this story. Supreme Court asked to overturn same-sex marriage.
SHANE CASHMAN (PANELIST): Thank god. It's an abomination. Let's do it.
POOL: So this is Kim Davis. This is a crazy story. When, when Obergefell was ruled, they basically said, what was it like? All states must recognize the license from any state that recognizes one, effectively legalizing it. There was another Supreme Court ruling that moved that forward.
Kim Davis refused to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple and was jailed for it. That's insane. Just say, okay, if you don't do your job, you're fired. That's, that's nuts. I've argued this before, and there were conservatives saying, if government employees don't do their job, they just go to jail. And I was like, that's crazy. Just fire them and hire somebody else.
...
POOL: And I was like, but, yeah, like gay marriage, I don't care. Just, I don't think it should be in schools and being taught to kids and all that stuff. Just, you're an adult, you learn, you're private, whatever.
However, Obergefell is unconstitutional and psychotic, and it was a 5-4 decision where they basically said without legislative action, with 35 states having already banned gay marriage, we are going to force you to accept it.
...
POOL: And maybe, maybe the question of whether to take the case up is the good one, but I got to be honest. Obergefell is one of the most retarded opinions in the history of the Supreme Court.
ELAD ELIAHU (PANELIST): Legally, right?
POOL: Yeah. Legally, just it's garbled nonsense. It makes no sense. And the liberals cheer for it cause gay marriage.
But I'm like, fine, I don't care. Like, I have gay married friends, and I'm fine with them being gay married, but this is not law. This is fascistic legislation from the bench without any cultural precedence. This is not democracy. This is not a republic.
