It was smart of Trump not to make an issue of this at this time.

He should simply appoint conservative justices, who will overturn the ruling.

Trump then say that is is settled law. He can stay out of the fray.

Sometimes its best to do things without a lot of fanfare.

“Sometimes its best to do things without a lot of fanfare.”

Right you are! Trump has his eyes on the “balls” that are the most important to the vast majority of our citizens, one’s where there can be little controversy and a quick return for the amount of work that needs to be done to achieve success. There is absolutely no reason to get embroiled in the “gay marriage” issue at this juncture. Right now, even if we had a SCOTUS that was up to the task, dealing with this matter would be a near term distraction that would likely have negative effects on much more pressing issues.

Trump’s opinion is to send matters like marriage back to the states. What he will not do is waste political capital on some charade like DOMA. Once it is back in the states marriage can be defended by the grass roots. That won’t happen in some states but that’s the way it is.
