During the Republican party’s lower-tier debate on Thursday evening, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum compared the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage to the infamous Dred Scott ruling--which declared in the 1850s that African Americans were not eligible for citizenship.
Asked if the same-sex marriage decision was “settled law,” Santorum responded “It is not, any more than Dred Scott was settled law to Abraham Lincoln.”
