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)

1. he lost my vote

ha ha

[retrowire]

2. oh boy. nt

[thesquanderer]

3. Yup, he believes in traditional marriage so much that he does it over and over again. (nt)

[KingCharlemagne]

5. He said he would date his own daughter. Just goes to

show that the family that plays together stays together.

[wordpix]

40. Five kids by 3 different wives, he believes in traditional marriage if it's serial

How traditional

[Bohunk68]

4. His last three wives were foreign wimmin since no American woman would have him.

[Sanity Claws]

7. Actually#2 was American

[Mendocino]

54. And Melania sees three things in him

69 years old, high blood pressure and a few billion dollars.

[Sanity Claws]

6. A twice-divorced man wants to protect the sanctity of marriage.

I'm too busy laughing to take this seriously.

[groundloop]

8. Yep.... just as funny as someone who's filed bankruptcy 4 times......

saying the country should be run like a business.

[Kingofalldems]

9. So he's back on Fox eh?

That whole thing was a scam---wrestling kayfabe.

[kacekwl]

10. That's right

keep talking orange man .

[yardwork]

11. He means it too.

[lark]

12. Wow is he racking up enemies!

Now LGBT people will work against him too. Good.

[Plappergeist]

27. Were any LGBT people for him before? n/t

[Kelvin Mace]

13. So, he's fine with state outlawing inter-racial marriage?

[NurseJackie]

14. Is he TRYING to win the nomination so that he can LOSE the election?

[Rebubula]

36. Seriously....

....sometimes I think Trump is pulling a long con on all of us.

His statements and actions are almost TOO comicalclownish to be believed.

This will be an interesting election to say the least...most interesting in my 50 years

[frizzled]

15. LOL! I actually don't think this pandering will help him.

As usual The Donald just agrees to whatever fool thing reporters suggest he wants and sticks with it.

But the online conservative base does not hate The Gays that much any more. I doubt it'll help him.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. Don't fall for Chump's lies! He's always

supported gay rights. He's full of shit!

[Skittles]

17. LOL

there's really not anything The Donald won't stoop to in his efforts to suck up to the homophobic, misogynistic, racist, xenophobic crowd

no courage at all - he is a coward

[Calista241]

18. it's actually a pretty smooth way to dodge the question

He doesn't say "I will get it repealed," and he basically lays the action to do something on someone else.

[femmocrat]

19. Has he officially alienated every minority and ethnic group in America now?

I can't think of anyone left to insult or attack.

[mdbl]

35. Which proves what republicans actually are....

racist and homophobic and stingy. That's their entire platform. Anything else they talk about is just smoke and mirrors for their true intentions. That's why Trump is so popular.

[MissMillie]

20. so Trump is against "fundamental rights"

which is what the Supreme court has held marriage to be for many, many, many years.

a fundamental right, for the individual, trumps (forgive the pun) states' rights..

shouldn't someone running for President know that?

Oh yeah, that's right.... they forget that when it comes to appealing to Iowa and NH voters....

[LiberalLovinLug]

43. Might as well just throw away the Constitution and Bill of Rights

Those are national documents and dare to suggest rights should apply to every person in every State.

[24601]

21. Its settled law just like Roe, Heller & Citizens United. There is a process for amending the

Constitution and asking nicely isn't it.

[Zorra]

22. What a fool. He just lost any chance he had of winning the GE. nt

[trillion]

34. Which is a good thing.

[BlueStater]

23. Could he possibly be any more of a phony?

I'm expected to buy that this goof believes in "traditional marriage"? He's been married three fucking times!

Go to hell, Donald.

[houston16revival]

24. 3 Marriages, 2 foreign born wives, anti-immigration, $100 million home

CEO of a gambling empire

Christian Fundamentalists should be ex-communicating him

[Person 2713]

26. Nah they all can identify with his hypocritical nature and superiority complex

[houston16revival]

30. Bingo!

They really don't face reality, they all worship the deceit and denial

You nailed it!

[wordpix]

41. they want "daddy" to take care of them and keep them safe bombing nations overseas

His followers are plain stupid

[silvershadow]

25. He's had a sudden religious experience? Can I get an amen?

(I think any of these will work) LOL

[weissmam]

28. he likes traditional marriage so much

he had three of them

[nichomachus]

29. Well, there's always the chance he'll "evolve"

Obama did and so did Hillary when it became politically expedient for them to do so.

[YOHABLO]

31. Yeah, his definition of marriage, over and over and over and over again.

[truthisfreedom]

32. More outrage and hate. It's exactly what a fascist would do.

He's a truly sick man.

[passiveporcupine]

33. I don't know which way Trump would go, but if anyone else from the GOP wins

They will try (and maybe succeed) in turning back women's rights on abortion and contraception.

Won't that be fun?

[Ana Hauhet]

37. of course he does!

Hoping he wins the nomination.

[Jenny_92808]

56. really...you hope trump can take away

women's rights. Are you a paid poster, probably male?

[Nitram]

38. Just one more campaign promise that Trump knows he can't keep.

Doesn't seem to hurt his popularity with the bozos, though...

[rladdi]

39. We hear the voices of the Republicans in the Senate, in the House and on the campaign trail, give

the states all the rights. OH YEA, the states are taking away all the rights. Name one state that has not taken away voters rights, women rights, educational rights, healthcare rights. They are against there citizens and also the Federal Government, except when they need financial help. Like MICH. Gov. Snyder begging for funds to help the Flint water Crisis, He got $100 million, but not one penny will be spent on Flint. Then we have the Texas Governors, Perry and now Abbott, always asking for a handout, yet they hate Washington, expect for help.
These same Republicans trash the American people needing help. Yet they smile and ask Washington for help.

When will the American people wake up to the Republicans? They are a fraud, liars, Always giving out mis-information to the people. Wake up American to this criminal Republican party.

So why would we want our states to control us anymore then the Feds?

[Nitram]

42. That's pretty transparent. Trump doesn't promise to end gay marriage.

He promises to encourage the Supreme Court to do it. His supporters probably won't even notice the difference.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Hamburger for the Piranhas

Now the evangelical troglodytes in Iowa will think he might be one of their own.

[Raster]

45. low information for low information voters.

[ProfessorGAC]

47. Same Coin - Flip Side

He's pandering to the base. It doesn't remotely matter if he really believes that. They want to hear it. So, he says what they want to hear. That's all any of them are doing.

Cruz isn't going to nuke the middle east. Carson isn't going to overturn Roe. Paul isn't going to turn SS into a Wall Street pyramid scheme. But, they say what they need to.

[Raster]

49. But of course... and for tRUMP, that includes up, close and personal with Sarah Palin!

[gvstn]

46. I'm sorry but thid guy is a pig!

And ugly while he is doing it.

Now, there is a saying about what comes around goes around, but this guy deserves it.

[Dont call me Shirley]

48. The old states rights argument to justify your bigotry, Don, eh?

[apnu]

50. Putting this through my "teh Donald" translator I get:

"Oh shit, fundies ain't feeling how awesome I am, I better say some crazy shit to make them happy."

[wolfie001]

51. He should have his thugs "talk" to Justice Kennedy....

.....since he's usually the swing vote.

[houston16revival]

52. Listen Up

It behooves every one of us to attempt to locate a local Christian Fundamentalist
and find out why they support this bozo.

Do they subconsciously love the hypocrisy and self aggrandizement?

So they wish they were like him, with foreign born wives, $100 million homes?

Do they like the Casino mogul chutzpah, glamour, and power?

Is it the Las Vegas Life that makes their own boring church life seem cool?

What is going on here?

Or are they losing out on the levers of control of others - sin - that feeds
their domination and financial exploitation?

If we can all convert one of them to sanity, it will help our cause in 2016!

[FiveGoodMen]

53. If elected, he would try to rule as an out-and-out dictator

We'd have to wait and see whether anyone in the Federal government would actually try to stop him.

[PersonNumber503602]

55. I find it highly unlikely Trump cares about same-sex marriage. What a pandering asshat.

[Jenny_92808]

57. I couldn't agree

with you more!!!

[trillion]

58. Since the majority or people of this country support gay marriage, I would say this is just trump

shooting himself in the foot again. I guess I should thank him for running such an inept campaign where he has all the free press but uses it to alienate whole sectors from voting for him. Wonder how much of those votes he lost in Iowa were of Spanish Descent, or Muslim - who typically vote Right, or any Immigrant. He can count out the Gays now too. Remember Iowa is the 2nd whites state in the Nation. Wonder how he'll do in in the big states that have the majority of delegates - comprising of a whole lot of minorities. He's just lost gays and friends of gays too.

[olddots]

59. Donald has been having the same sex for decades

with himself .

[Geeks On Hugs]

60. Pure pandering

Just blatant political pandering.
