“Former Arkansas governor and potential Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Tuesday said that if the Supreme Court rules in favor of same sex marriage, states don’t necessarily need to begin issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.

Huckabee told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that he was “angry” with the “notion of judicial supremacy.”

“If the courts make a decision, I hear governors and even some aspirants to the presidency say well, that’s settled, and it’s the law of the land,” he said. “No, it isn’t the law of the land. Constitutionally, the courts cannot make a law. They can interpret one. And then the legislature has to create enabling legislation, and the executive has to sign it, and has to enforce it.”*

According to Huckabee, the legislative branch would need to draw up legislation to legalize same sex marriage.
