I expect to get the customary "well, that's from the Blaze, can't trust those loonies". But all the same, Gary Johnson isn't exactly a mainstreem Republican, and he seems to think same-sex marriage is already protected under the constitution.

Group of loons, yes.

Here's CNN's post on FB: 

QuoteThe 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the Act's Section 3, which prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriages, violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston issued a similar ruling in May.
