Sure he gets it. He watched 70 million people throw their integrity under the bus to vote Romney. He knows they will do so again.

Yuck. This issue is going to divide the GOP, while the left laughs.

There are two ways to react to this situation.

One is the rule of law. There is a legal process to turn it around. We have to elect Senators that will impeach Supreme court Justices. Or we elect Presidents that will appoint good judges and wait for the bad ones to die. Or we elect congressmen that will take marriage out of the jurisdiction of the courts.

The second way is rebellion. Whether civil disobedience such as the KY Clerk has chosen. Or protests. Or even armed rebellion.

Ted Cruz has called for the second method. And I respect that. I just don’t think it will work. It won’t work directly...the justices aren’t going to change their mind. It might work indirectly, her martrydom could arouse the awareness of the citizenry to vote out the rinos.

Trump had already downplayed the whole issue. When asked, he supported traditional marriage and stated gay rights wasn’t his thing. This issue is not what Trump wants to campaign on. I’m not surprised that at all that Trump responded “Rule of law”. Though I was hoping he would pull out a novel and genius approach that we could all get behind.

Trump and Cruz both need to take it one step further. They need to charge the citizenry, that if you want the law changed, elect congressmen that will hold the justices accountable and change it. We need a grass roots campaign to impeach the justices.

Other than that, I think Trump should stay clear of this issue. We need him to win to fix the other issues. No one is going to fix this one without Congressional action.

Mr. Trump had better educate himself and recant that remark and get on the side of the US Constitution and quit weaseling out of such by siding with illegal and corrupt court rulings. That’s not going to cut it.

The ‘law is the law’ about sending and receiving classified materials too... but liberals aren't clamoring for Hillary to go to jail.

Quite the contrary - they want Hillary to ‘change tone’ to ‘apologize with feeling’... and the usual crap the elites grant to each other.

How about one standard for all of us

This is exactly why I never invest my hopes in one individual candidate. I’ve lived long enough to be disappointed too many times to count.

Trump is going to lose a lot of support by joining the dark side in its’ war against Christians. This is going to cost him dearly. Epic fail. As bad as Cruz supporting TPA. Cruz managed to walk that back some what. Trump better start walking this back pronto.

What a novel idea. A future president campaigning on following the law. I’m not sure it will catch on, in that we are so used to having a president who thumbs his nose at the law.

OK, as previous responses ask, "What law is being broken?" At best she is following existing KY statues by not issuing a license for a same sex couple. At worst, she is following the SCOTUS ruling by not issuing ANY marriage licenses, because it ruled that KY's existing law is unconstitutional. Either way, this is a clear case of a Christian being targeted by homosexual activists and federal judicial overreach. Trump's answer clearly shows he doesn't see it that way.

That’s what some of us have been saying for quite some time. Trump is a “deal-maker” that requires political skills. We are all being taken for a ship of fools. He is catering to the sodomite vote.

Trump is absolutely wrong on this. He needs educated. Just because the Supreme Court rules something doesn’t make it the law. The courts can not make law.

Well, that should create some interesting internal conflict in the minds mod his supporters.

I don't have a problem with this.

Trump isn't a social conservative so I'm not going to be disappointed when he doesn't act like one.

Trump is the only candidate running that wants to do something to stop the exporting of jobs and the importing of criminals. As far as I'm concerned, these are greater threats to this country than gay marriage.

I guess that is why he is now at 40% in Alabama today?

I'm a trump supporter, HOWEVER, if he tried to shove this crap down Alabamans' throats he'd drop better than half his following there.

My point: People like him because he speaks out.

He's not saying much if anything on this issue and Ted Cruz IS.

Its NOT the law. It was an abuse of power. Courts can not make law.

Sending a woman for obeying her Christian conscience will sure “Make America Great, Again!”
What horse s*t.

We shall see. “We are a nation of laws,” is kind of his catchphrase.
