“He,” in this case, is Rand Paul (R [Need you ask?] - KY [Surprise!]), who reacted to this morning's SCOTUS news that DOMA is dead as a dodo with a General Zod-like plea for the purity of our genetic heritage:

This was on Glenn Beck's show, so there was no possibility of anyone with good judgment standing nearby ready to stuff a towel in the Senator's mouth before he said something exactly like this.

But once again, we have to ask the awkward but necessary questions:
