Donald Trump Says He Wants Supreme Court To Overturn Same-Sex Marriage

Donald Trump told Fox News he isn't happy with the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage and would nominate justices to overturn it. By Ethan Weston | January 31, 2016

Donald Trump says he isn't a fan of the way the Supreme Court ruled on same-sex marriage.

"I would have much preferred that they ruled at a state level and let the states make those rulings themselves," Trump told Fox News.

Trump told Fox News's Chris Wallace he would consider appointing judges to the Supreme Court that would be willing to overturn the ruling if he was elected president.

Last year, Trump told The Hollywood Reporter that the fight against same-sex marriage was a "dead issue" after the Supreme Court had its say. But he's also consistently said he's a believer in "traditional marriage." (Video via CNN)

The list the anti-Trumpers can use is getting shorter and shorter.

Well, he seems to have gotten some tutoring from Ted Cruz on the Tenth Amendment.

They won’t even argue common sense.

I can run circles around them before they realize I’m there.

They watch way to much TV.

Just wait until he is elected as so many hope ... the list will be so huge that it will take 16 men, 12 boys, and their dogs to more just the digitized version ...

I don’t see the SC overturning it. First, they are reluctant to overturn a previous SC decision. Second, they are reluctant to create a mess where tens of thousands of marriages are instantly void.

Trump has been saying it’s a state rights issue all along. This is nothing new.

Except Me Too Teddy agreed to look the other way on this issue immediately after accepting that huge campaign donation.

Nice try, play again soon.

So has he convinced Ivanka and Donald Jr. that they are totally wrong in their support of this issue, or are they all just phony charlatans?

Oh, they don’t worry about overturning tons of previous decisions.

The only thing consistent with Ducking Donald is his inconsistency on every issue...

Well that’s easy to say because there is ZERO chance of that.

I wonder if Trump supporters realize how Liberal he really is.

Over and over and over again.
