9LOS ANGELES TIMES) -- GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum described last week’s court ruling striking down California’s ban on same-sex marriage as “almost absurd” and an example of “judicial tyranny.”
“Judicial tyranny is a serious issue in this race and in this country,” he said Sunday. “We need judges who respect the people’s voice. Let the people decide with respect to what the Constitution says.”
Santorum's bid for the GOP presidential nomination surged last week after he swept Tuesday's nominating contests in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado.
