Let’s get rid of US Supreme Court : Bobby Jindal

Washington: Indian-American Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has criticised the US Supreme Court over its two landmark rulings of legalising same-sex marriage and upholding the healthcare law, and has called for “getting rid” of the judicial body.

 

“The SC is completely out of control, making laws on their own, and has become a public opinion poll instead of a judicial body,” Jindal said, adding: “If we want to save some money let’s just get rid of the court.” Jindal said the SC ruling on gay marriage fundamentally redefined the institution of marriage. He said: “Marriage between man and woman was established by God, and no earthly court can alter that.” He argued that protecting same-sex marriage would open door to discrimination against people of faith who oppose its practice.
