Sen. Mike Lee - Demonstrating Mormoniciousness (link)

Sen. Mike Lee says he doesn't know if same-sex marriage will become legal across the country, unlike Utah's senior senator who sees it as inevitable.

"What I do know is that it's wrong for these decisions to be made by federal judges," the first-term Republican said Thursday.

Lee also compared the federal government to Godzilla when it comes to religious freedom during an interview on KSL NewsRadio's "The Doug Wright Show." As government grows, he said, those rights become more endangered.

"Sometimes government steps on religious liberty, perhaps inadvertently, but it does so just because government's big," he said.

On Wednesday, seven-term GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch said anyone who doesn't believe gay marriage will become the law of the land hasn't been watching what's going.

"The trend right now in the courts is to permit gay marriage, and anybody who doesn't admit that just isn’t living in the real world," Hatch said. "I don't think that's the right way to go. But on the other hand, I do accept whatever the courts say."

Hatch is not a 'true blue republican' like Mike Lee is. Mike Lee stands in the great tradition of Robert Welch and his close colleague Fred Koch whose patriotic organization upheld the righteous agenda of the god-fearing Christian founders of America. LDS leaders such as Ezra Taft Benson, sponsored and honored the tradition of Bob Welch and Fred Koch among the saints...and Mike Lee is a faithful adherent of that tradition.

More like a euphemism for being self-righteous all the time.
