Statements like this ought to sink Trump.
Law of the Land?? Can someone please tell me what “LAW” the Courts have passed? They have only stuck down existing law and have no powers under the constitution to create laws. Anyone running for elective office who says otherwise has no business running for office.
Idiot noob strikes again
Ping.
Thought you might want to see this one, too.
Tourette Man continues barking out his New York philosophy between pretenses of being conservative.
So Trump is afraid of the HOmosexual Lobby....maybe he has got a Larry Sinclair out there.
Time to Dump the Trump.
Slavery was the law of the land and ruled on by the SCOTUS too. ‘Nuff said.
Trump has not been my 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice, maybe even further down the line, we will see but in an election, I’d give him my vote.
This problem and the answer was noted a long time ago. We now we see the results of non Christian government and society.
John Adams in a speech to the military in 1798 warned his fellow countrymen stating,
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams is a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and our second President.
Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary said,
“[T]he Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis, or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government. . . . and I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence.”
Gouverneur Morris, Penman and Signer of the Constitution. “[F]or avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy . . . the only ground of hope must be on the morals of the people. I believe that religion is the only solid base of morals and that morals are the only possible support of free governments. [T]herefore education should teach the precepts of religion and the duties of man towards God.”
John Jay, Original Chief-Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court ,
“The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.”
Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence “[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
“Whereas true religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness . . . it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several States to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof.” Continental Congress, 1778
John Adams
SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE; JUDGE; DIPLOMAT; ONE OF TWO SIGNERS OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS; SECOND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.
Patrick Henry
Ratifier of the U.S. Constitution
“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”
John Witherspoon
Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Clergyman and President of Princeton University
“While we give praise to God, the Supreme Disposer of all events, for His interposition on our behalf, let us guard against the dangerous error of trusting in, or boasting of, an arm of flesh ... If your cause is just, if your principles are pure, and if your conduct is prudent, you need not fear the multitude of opposing hosts.
“What follows from this? That he is the best friend to American liberty, who is most sincere and active in promoting true and undefiled religion, and who sets himself with the greatest firmness to bear down profanity and immorality of every kind.
“Whoever is an avowed enemy of God, I scruple not to call him an enemy of his country.”
Thomas Jefferson
3rd U.S. President, Drafter and Signer of the Declaration of Independence
“God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever; That a revolution of the wheel of fortune, a change of situation, is among possible events; that it may become probable by Supernatural influence! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in that event.
Bad call on Trump’s part.
Is this the same Trump that said he was going to defend Christianity.
What a looser he just proved himself to be. He can’t even think this situation through enough to understand the obvious constitutional problems with it.
Signing that stupid pledge showed just how infectious politics and the desire for power is. Remarkably short time for Trump to turn into just another hack.
Toast. Next poll will show it.
Dammit, Donald. You’re the one candidate in the whole bunch who has the clout to turn this whole mess around and you decide to play it safe?
I’ll still vote for you if you’re the nominee, because you’re correct on the only two issues that REALLY matter this time around, but you really put your foot in it with this comment.
BINGO! Trump’s first big screw up.
FAIL.
Donald - YOU’RE FIRED!
Next candidate please?
So was slavery at one time
