President Obama: “The Constitution Is Pretty Clear” On Nominating Supreme Court Justices

After several Senate Republicans stated they did not want to hold hearings on a new Supreme Court justice nominee this year, President Obama addressed those would delay the process of replacing recently deceased Justice Antonin Scalia:

“The Constitution is pretty clear about what is supposed to happen now,” Obama said at a press conference Tuesday at the U.S.-ASEAN summit in California.

“When there is vacancy on the Supreme Court, the president of the United States is to nominate someone, the Senate is to consider that nomination, and either they disapprove of that nominee or that nominee is elevated to the Supreme Court,” Obama continued. “Historically, this has not been viewed as a question. There’s no unwritten law that says it can only be done in off years, that’s not in the constitutional text.”

Obama stressed that there was “more then enough time” for the Senate to consider the nominee he submits for consideration.

Boxer Manny Pacquiao Apologizes For Calling LGBT People “Worse Than Animals”

Manny Pacquaio

After making incendiary comments about LGBT folks on Monday, Filipino boxer Manny Pacquaio apologized Tuesday for saying that people who are attracted to the same sex are “worse than animals”

Pacquaio, a member of the Philippines House of Representatives who is currently running for a Senate seat, made the controversial comments in a local television interview released Monday.

“It’s common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex?” he said. “Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female … If men mate with men and women mate with women, they are worse than animals.”

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, the conservative Christian initially defended the comments: “I rather obey the Lord’s command than obeying the desires of the flesh. Im not condemning anyone, but I’m just telling the truth of what the Bible says.”

However, just seven hours later, the former world champion made a follow-up post in which he apologized for hurting the LGBT community.

“I’m sorry for hurting people by comparing homosexuals to animals,” he wrote. “Please forgive me for those I’ve hurt. I still stand on my belief that I’m against same sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I’m not condemning LGBT. I love you all with the love of the Lord. God Bless you all and I’m praying for you.”

TMZ caught up with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather, who beat the crap out of Pacquaio last year in a major matchup, and asked Mayweather his thoughts on Pacquaio’s comments.

The champ again won the day with this response: “We should let people live their lives the way they want to live their lives. To each his own.”

Gay Military Couple’s Wedding Kiss Goes Viral

From News-leader.com:

Spc. Shane Adriano and Pfc. Tristian Resz chose the Greene County Courthouse as a venue because they wanted something small and intimate for their Feb. 11 wedding. It was to be just the happy couple, a few supportive friends and a judge.

But after they shared their “first married kiss” photo on Facebook, their small ceremony turned into a worldwide event.

The American Military Partner Association posted the photo a few hours after the wedding. As of Monday morning, that post has been shared 800 times, has almost 4,400 likes and more than 215 comments.

Adriano told the News-Leader they have long since lost track of how many times the photo has been shared.

“It just keeps getting reshared,” he said. “We had a little bit of negative comments on there, but I wasn’t even expecting that many people to like it and share it over and over again.”

Survey Shows Hillary Clinton Has Strongest Support Among Likely LGBT Voters

According to a survey of likely LGBT voters conducted by Community Marketing & Insights, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is seen as the presidential candidate who is most supportive of LGBT rights and equality.

Clinton received the support of 48% of those polled, while Sen. Bernie Sanders clocked in at 41%.

Among Republicans Donald Trump was the highest ranked but with a measly 2%. Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Marco Rubio got 1% each.

It’s interesting to note that in the 2012 presidential campaign LGBT voters comprised 5% of the total electorate. Of those, 77% voted for President Obama while 23% threw their support to GOP nominee Mitt Romney.

Five percent may not seem like a huge number, but consider this: 77% of 5 is about 4.8. In a tight race, four percentage points could be the difference between a Democrat picking the next few SCOTUS justices or a Republican.
