I am conflicted because I agree with @justinamash on government surveillance and wish @NancyPelosi would be better on that, but at the same time, she has spent decades in the vanguard on LGBT rights, while Amash came around (using the term loosely) quite late on these issues.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/988840158563880960 …

Everyone makes mistakes, and I'm glad you've shifted on DOMA. What did you think of the Supreme Court's 2015 decision on gay marriage?

My initial misunderstanding of DOMA is one of my biggest regrets as a candidate and public official.
-
A politician recognizing an error of judgement. Wow. In any case, no Democrat can seriously say that they are better and consistently so on civil rights than a libertarian. Maybe, just maybe a super consisten ACLU member and even that is debatable.
-
But Amash wasn’t a straight up libertarian in 2010.
-
Maybe. But I would gladly sign for all members of Congress to be as imperfectly libertarian as Amash in a heartbeat.

I mean, I am not even clear on whether he thinks the Supreme Court decided correctly on marriage equality in 2015.
-
So it seems like we are in agreement that if civil marriage exists for heterosexual couples, it must be available for gay couples and that, based on this, the Supreme Court made the right call in 2015. And I agree that marriage should be privatized.
