Scott Walker

Here’s a look at how the eleven Republican candidates for president fared on Wednesday night.

Says he doesn’t know whether being gay is a choice.

For the second time in two days, the Supreme Court struck at the heart of the Republican Party platform. Yet the response to Friday’s same-sex marriage ruling was mild in comparison with the outrage that followed the court’s decision Thursday to uphold President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Walker said in a statement Friday that the states should have the right to decide whether to allow same-sex marriage. He also says the Constitution should be amended to include a definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a likely 2016 GOP presidential candidate, said Sunday he supports a constitutional amendment that would allow states to ban same-sex marriage.

Republican presidential hopefuls emphasized their staunch opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion rights Saturday before a crowd of social conservatives who hold significant sway in the state’s leadoff presidential caucuses.

For Democratic politicians, same-sex marriage has become an easy issue: They’re for it. Many Republican VIPs – notably the presidential hopefuls – face a far more complicated landscape.

MADISON, Wis. — Republican Gov. Scott Walker hasn’t said much publicly about his positions on abortion or same-sex marriage, but he proudly trumpets his stances on both issues in a letter to a conservative group whose endorsement he wants.

MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker says hundreds of same-sex marriages performed in June will be recognized by the state. There had been questions over whether those marriages would be legally recognized, since they happened when the same-sex marriage ban was blocked only temporarily.

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Democrats are asking Gov. Scott Walker and fellow Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to drop their defense of the state’s gay marriage ban, arguing it’s a waste of money. Fifteen Democratic state senators and 25 Democratic representatives sent letters to Walker and Van Hollen on Wednesday.
