I think its a great move. A LOT of people don't think he is socially conservative enough....I had no worries especially when the ONLY thing he can about this is appoint a justice to the court..what they do then is up to them.
A 'lot of people' are wrong.
And as already correctly noted: it's a moronic move, Trump further reaffirms the fact that the social right has too much control over the GOP, that most republicans are hostile to the protected liberties of all Americans, and that if elected a republican president would pursue an authoritarian agenda seeking to violate the civil rights of women, gay Americans, and others perceived to be 'different.'
According to you the Constitution says whatever the Supreme Court decides it says. If some Trump appointed judges rule that homosexual marriage is not a constitutional right, who are you to argue with them?

Well, isn't that what you are doing now? Who are you to say homosexual marriage is not a constitutional right, who are you to argue with them?
You left yourself wide open, numb nuts.
I don't claim the Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of the Constitution as nimrods like Clayton do. Marriage isn't a constitutional right, so how can homosexual marriage one?
I didn't leave myself open at all. You are simply too stupid to understand my point.[/QUOTE
The U.S. Supreme court is the LAW of the land--what they decide, you're not going to argue with. Abortion has been around for 44 years for a reason. It's survived several Republican administrations, including a full house--and nothing changed. It's because Administrations, including Republican administrations REFUSE to give Court nominees a litmus test on social issues.
These nominees have to pass the scrutiny of both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate to ever make it to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Your social issues are killing party. Not everyone agrees with you, and you are the minority in this country.
And very good article on this is here.
