This man is planning to be the GOP nominee for President of the United States.

Bobby Jindal administration says Louisiana won't recognize gay marriage yet.
The Times Picayune - Julia O'Donoghue - June 26, 2015

Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration says gay marriage will currently not be offered or recognized in Louisiana,
but his staff acknowledged it's likely coming.

Local court clerks issue licenses in the other 63 parishes, but the Louisiana Clerks of Court Association
and Attorney General Buddy Caldwell both advised them Friday to wait 25 days
to begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu criticized Jindal and Caldwell after couples were denied licenses in New Orleans.
"We are a nation of laws, and Louisiana is no exception.
The State has no legal authority to delay issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples even a moment longer,"
Landrieu said in a written statement.

Bobby Jindal: ‘Let’s just get rid of the court’
MSNBC - Adam Howard - 6/27/15

In the wake of Friday’s historic Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality,
Republicans did not hold back their rage
– but few politicians went as far as 2016 candidate Gov. Bobby Jindal.

The Louisiana Republican, who launched a longshot bid for the presidency last week,
suggested that the 5-4 ruling, which made same-sex marriage legal throughout the nation,
was cause for disbanding the entire Supreme Court.

Although several other 2016 GOP candidates came out in opposition to the decision,
with a few even suggesting the need for a Constitutional Amendment to overturn it,
they all stopped short of advocating for what amounts to an undemocratic insurrection.
