Walter is that you?

Okay I'll finish what MF didn't. While watching Trump on 60 minutes I caught something that was not challenged by Stahl.

When asked about the Supreme court and Roe vs Wade he said he appoint judges to defeat the law..

When asked about Gay marriage he said he won't touch it because it's already a law........

.Trump says 17-month-old gay marriage ruling is ‘settled’ law — but 43-year-old abortion ruling isn’t

He's being like Trudeau? How is that tanker ban working for you?

Yup. Trudeau likes big government as much as Trump.

And? You're expecting logical consistency from Trump and his supporters? They can't even admit to themselves that increased spending, higher taxes, bigger government and deficits isn't left-wing economics.

None of these are in his platform. Keep grasping at whatever straw makes you feel better. I always thought someone as stupid as you would have trouble in understanding simple concepts and appears I am right

With any luck the new Supremes will overturn not only Obergefell v. Hodges, but also Lawrence v. Texas.

And maybe even Loving v. Virginia.

All that your jurisprudence is left with is Abbott vs Costello

... or naybe, King Kong vs Godzilla ..

As Wesley said to Buttercup in the Princess Bride: "Get used to disappointment." The fact is that many of the Dumpster's promises are so contradictory he can't keep them all while still others are violations of the US constitution.

Of course, saying that he won't challenge the same-sex marriage decision is not the same as saying that he won't appoint justices who are likely to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges.

I think you will find that it will be difficult to overturn even if he does appoint conservative judges.

President-Elect Trump Says Same-Sex Marriage Is 'Settled' Law

WATCH Donald Trump Tells Protesters 'Don't Be Afraid', Calls for Hate Crimes to Stop
Republican President-elect Donald Trump said he’s “fine” with same-sex marriage as the law of the land, calling the issue "settled" by the Supreme Court.

The comments – in Trump's first television interview since winning the presidency – sharply contrast with his party’s orthodoxy, his running mate’s longtime position and comments he made during the Republican primaries.

“It’s law,” he said in an interview with CBS’ "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday. “It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it’s done.”

W.T.F. would anyone in his right mind take the lid off that can of worms? Pairing up weird people isn't such a bad idea and if a person chooses not to be involved with it he/she doesn't have to.

You pollsters have been wrong before. Where did you learn how to do that?

At this juncture of time and society there is too large a majority of citizens and legislators that support same-sex rights. It would be very difficult to overturn even if they could dig up some bizarre legal basis. The last ruling was constitutionally sound and lawful. On top of that with the current social climate the US is already extremely divided and close to a civil war and such a ruling may well be the final tipping point. I would suggest attempting to overturn Roe v Wade would probably give rise to a similar result.

That's what they said about Plessy v. Ferguson, which held that "separate but equal" segregation was Constitutional. 59 years later in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, the Supremes held, 9-0, that "separate but equal" was unConstitutional. It has been 33 years since Roe v. Wade. That means 26 years to go, even ignoring the fact that everything moves much faster in the internet age.
