If you did not see Rachel Maddow interviewing Rick Santorum last night you really missed out. But you're in luck, because I have it right here.

Courtesy of Salon:  

Santorum told Maddow that the Supreme Court overstepped its authority with its ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, saying that the Court “is not the superior branch of government.” He added that Congress could pass a law banning same-sex marriage. 

Maddow informed him that it couldn’t, but he insisted that “it’s clear from our founding documents, that the Congress has a right to say what’s constitutional. The president has a right to say what’s constitutional. And that’s part of the dynamic called checks and balances.” 

“You’re fundamentally wrong on civics,” Maddow replied. “If there’s a question as to the constitutionality of a law, it gets adjudicated. And the second syllable of that word means it gets decided in the judiciary — the Supreme Court decides whether or not a law is constitutional.” 

He continued to insist that Congress could pass a law, so Maddow asked him bluntly, “do you believe Congress could just pass a national ban on same-sex marriage and would it become law?” 

“Of course,” he replied. “The Congress could pass anything it wants to pass. The Supreme Court could strike it down again.” 

“You want them to pass a moot bill that would just be struck down?” she asked. 

“It wouldn’t be moot,” Santorum explained, because the composition of the Court could have changed since it made the current same-sex marriage ruling, or justices could have misgivings about having “misread the tea leaves that are going on in America right now.”

After that exchange  Santorum also admitted that he would like to see a "whole new group of justices." And that if he were President and could choose them he was confident he would get an entirely new decision on gay marriage.

Of course this is incredibly insulting to Rachel Maddow, who is an out gay woman, and she then followed up by asking Santorum if he thinks people are gay by choice.

Santorum turned himself inside out trying not to answer that question and ultimately did not give a definitive answer despite comments he has made in the past.  Instead he brought up the possibility of people choosing to abort their babies if they could be identified as gay through genetic testing.

I think Rachel did a great job, and in my fantasies she would get the opportunity to interview EVERY Republican candidate on her show.

In fact I would like to give Rick Santorum huge props for having the balls to go on her show, and I hope he uses that fact to shame his fellow presidential hopefuls into following suit.

I swear I would pay big money to see her go toe to toe with Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Scott Walker, and don't even tease me about the possibility of a Donald Trump.
