Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert added himself to the Christian conservative chorus complaining on Friday about the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriages, releasing a statement that invoked not only the Bible, but multiple former presidents.

“Founders and leaders including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and most all of the Presidents have noted that it is God who has been the source of this nation’s unfathomable blessings,” Gohmert stated. “But if Moses, Jesus, and contributors to the Bible were correct, God’s hand of protection will be withdrawn as future actions from external and internal forces will soon make clear. I will do all I can to prevent such harm, but I am gravely fearful that the stage has now been set.”

Gohmert, who invited anti-LGBT pastor and Fox News contributor Robert Jeffress to deliver a prayer in the House of Representatives late last year, and also encouraged black communities to discriminate against the LGBT communities, also recycled the conservative argument that Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan should have recused themselves from the case because they had presided over same-sex weddings in the past.

“When Justices of the highest court in the country believe they do not have to comply with essential laws governing courts themselves, then there is no overriding legitimate law of the land, which action standing alone is enough to substantiate tyranny,” Gohmert argued.

2. If there was a contest to see

who was the dumbest and most ridiculous congress critter, Gohmert would win hands down. BTW, he is complaining that Ginsberg and Kagan believe they do not have to comply with laws governing courts, one question for you, Louie. What about Thomas?

4. I think he cherishes that title, lol.

5. If all the crap we have to put up with is 'God protecting the US', that might be a good thing. nt

[cbayer]

6. We are a pretty fortunate country when compared to so many places in the world,

but I don't think it has anything to do with a god.

[on point]

7. Just throw another virgin in the volcano. I'm sure that'll appease God....

(Sarcasm )

What a primitive delusional fool.

Maybe without the 'shield' to protect them they will stop abusing other people and countries

8. So be fair, Louie Gohmert freaks when the nieghbor kids lose a ball in his front yard....

and especially every time McDonald's limited time offer of McRib sandwiches runs out.

9. I thought that having 50% of our children living in poverty

Would bring god's wrath. Or how about our history of civil rights abuses. We have lots of reasons to be a humble nation.

11. Loonie Louie is perfect example of radical religionists attempting to use the fact of deistic

presidents, mostly Chtistian, to push a theocratic agenda. It is disgusting that there are quite a number like him who either had no intention of upholding their oath of office to protect & defend tge Constitution, or just have no understanding of the principles for which the document stands. Their brand of 'American exceptionalism' is totally theocratic. And totally wrong.

13. Honestly, I think a lot of this is an act.
