RE: TRUMP: "the law is the law"

WHAT LAW?

Did the legislature of Kentucky pass a law legalizing gay marriage?

Did the Congress of the United States pass a law legalizing gay marriage?

So, what law are you referring to, Mr. Trump?

What she’s doing, as Charles Cooke put it, isn’t so much seeking a conscientious objection for herself as demanding a right of secession for Rowan County from the post-Obergefell legal regime.

I want to secede from this madness myself. Where can I sign up???

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

“The law is the law?”

That doesn’t sound so Trumpish. That sorta sounds like something a politician would say so as not to have to take a position that could upset someone. Didn’t see that coming.

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.

I believe you’ve had a little too much to think, Seek.

I fear most of TRUMPS are more concerned about ‘jobs, jobs, jobs’, than our Constitutional Rights.

Such a revolutionary

Trump more than likely supports gay marriage

So if the Supreme Court says no border wall and illegals can stay, then Trump will be okay with those too

Trump does not understand the Constitution

Early signs that, in this case, Trump doesn't GET IT.

He doesn't "get" WHY she's doing this in regard to the GREATER reason behind it.

If Trump looses his luster it will be because he shows lack of understanding of the deeper issue.

I will say Cruz appears to grasp the dynamics of this woman's resistance.

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.

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.
