congressman coffman, you're on the record of opposing such marriages. mr. romanoff, you support them. let's dig deeper -- is there a danger for republicans who over time have found themselves squarely at arts with american public opinion and, some would say, the course of history? >> i am a legislator, not a member of the judiciary, and the courts have spoken, and i respect the decision of the courts. >> should americans who suppose same-sex marriage on religious grounds be forced to participate in such ceremonies and facilitate marriages between same-sex couples? do you believe in any kind of freedom of conscience provision? >> i support the first amendment, which gives freedom of religion to institutions in america, but what i think all americans ought to ask themselves is this -- if a friend or loved 1 -- and i'm speaking here from personal experience because i have a cousin who is gay, and i think we all know someone who is -- should they not have the right to marry a partner? shouldn't we extend full equality under the law to all americans? it's not en

mr. coffman, your question for mr. romanoff. coffman: three weeks ago you for a public auction. you are for government run health care system and i understand three weeks ago you changed and now you are just for obamacare. being pro-obamacare, i want to ask you a question, would you repeal the vote to repeal the individual mandate of washington d.c.? romanoff: this is what they both look like. i wonder what the label would be. we had to be fixed in the affordable care act, not repealing it and allowing companies to discriminate on the basis of preexisting conditions are charging women more than men are throwing people to the road when they get sick. that doesn't make health care more affordable and it certainly doesn't make a more secure. but we need is for democrats and republicans to take on the insurance industry, hold them accountable, lower rates and help our families have access to the health care they need. coffman: the answer is no. romanoff: i just gave you the answer. >> moderator: we have time for one more question here. to reserve you actually think your opponent has

mr. coffman. coffman: the last one was a book by former secretary robert gates, and then prior to that, ouch, let me thing. i read so much every day, but in terms of books, it was a history book about western civilization. i can't recall the exact title. >> moderator: and should congress to grant states like colorado a blind exemption from federal laws against marijuana within our borders? coffman: i'm a conservative when it comes to reading the constitution but i believe it's an issue of interstate commerce. although i didn't support, did not vote for the initiative as a representative for the state of colorado, i've been advocating for the position in terms of making sure that federal law comports with a state law that the amendment 68 -- i'm sorry. romanoff: a blanket exception, no. congress ought to allow marijuana counties in colorado, businesses that engage in marijuana sales to use the interstate banking system but i want to make sure we don't drop our guard and allow the drug trade to prey
