Megyn Kelly Grills Huckabee About Rejecting SCOTUS: ‘Like It or Not, They Get Final Say’

Of all the 2016 Republican candidates, Mike Huckabee probably had the most over-the-top reaction to the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling, declaring, “I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch. We must resist and reject judicial tyranny, not retreat.”

But when Huckabee appeared on Megyn Kelly‘s show tonight, she confronted him about that. She asked him if he’s really not planning on accepting the ruling.

Huckabee insisted it’s unconstitutional, but Kelly said, “How do you not accept it?… Like it or not, they do get the final say.”

Huckabee insisted that the Supreme Court has no business rejecting the will of the people who “affirm[ed] the law of nature” by rejecting gay marriage, and he even blamed President Obama in particular for being such a cultural leader on the matter.
