It is NOT the law of the land or else you’re unwittingly supporting tyranny. A free nation is ruled by law - a nation like America, that has a Constitution that is higher than the government it creates.

Sorry, but your feelings don't change reality. SCOTUS has issued a decision saying that gay marriage is a constitutional right. If you want to change it, then amend the Constitution.

The Constitution doesn't need to be amended on the matter.

We need to pick a president who would pick supreme court justices who understand that.

Which is why Trump needs to go beyond simply saying, "that it's the law of the land".

Wrong!

What law? You keep saying it is the law of the land, even though no law was ever passed by congress.

Nothing in the Constitution needs changed over a decision that doesn't have the standing of law.

Again... What law? Got a number?

We don’t need to amend the Constitution because the Constitution does not address marriage.

We do need to have a president that will only nominate Supreme Court Justices that follow the constitution, not make it up as they go.

You and many others need a crash course in the Constitution. The Constitution is a FACT not a “feeling”. Your argument is for tyranny. How can anyone who calls themselves a “conservative” argue for tyranny? Tyranny is the unbridled rule of man which is what we have now and what you are supporting and is absolutely against the Constitution which IS THE LAW OF THE LAND (U.S. Constitution, Art VI, Cl2 - The “Supremacy Clause”).

A fundamental understanding of the Constitution starts with understanding the premise which is explicit in the Declaration of Independence and implicit in the Constitution: that individuals are BORN with all rights and freedoms SOME OF WHICH, as confirmed in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, are DELEGATED to the feds by the states and the people via the Constitution.

If it is NOT in the Constitution, it is NOT a federal power but remains a power of the states and the people (Ninth and Tenth Amendments). You don’t need to amend the Constitution, you need to LEARN the Constitution.
