Louisiana is the only state that hasn't issued any licenses for same-sex marriages since the Supreme Court ruled Friday that gay people have the constitutional right to civil marriage. On Sunday's Meet the Press, Chuck Todd asked Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.), a declared 2016 presidential candidate, why his state "hasn't implemented the law yet." Jindal said it will, as soon as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals orders it to, probably in days, but that he strongly disagrees with the Supreme Court's ruling, because of his Christian faith. Todd noted that people — including President Harry Truman — used the Bible as the rationale for their opposition to interracial marriage in the 1950s and '60s, and asked if he was comfortable making a similar argument in regards to same-sex marriage.
