Where does Trump stand on the Kentucky clerk who refuses to marry gays?

RE: Where does Trump stand on the Kentucky clerk who refuses to marry gays?

Somebody ought to ask him that. I am DEAD SURE that Ted Cruz defends the clerk’s decision.

Related to this, I am even more interested in the kind of Judge or Justice Trump would appoint to the Supreme Court.

Somebody ought to ask him that.

Which of the 9 justices currently on the Supreme Court bench most closely aligns with his views on the constitution?

Good question. Where does any of the wanna-be’s stand?

Rand Paul is the senator from Kentucky for crying out loud. You would think he would be right there at the side of truth and justice for that poor court clerk.

Because there is no one worth supporting among the GOP-E candidates like Kaisich, Christie, and Jeb?

He has already been asked and answered it. He would appoint an Alito, not a Roberts.

Who asked him that question, and when was it? Could you kindly provide a source or a link?

He is soft on same-sex “marriage” and a latecomer on abortion. I want more detail about Israel and the Middle East too. The best stance about Trump for a conscientious Christian at this point is “wait and see.” No bandwagon for me.

Yet, as a Christian, did you vote for Romney? Did you have any pang of conscience about doing so? Whatever sins Trump may have committed, he certainly has not embraced godforsaken blasphemy that is Mormonism and led lost souls away from the salvation of Christ. Supporting Donald Trump for the presidency will not elevate an Islamic-like cult to the highest echelons of power.

>> the correct approach here is to read the headline only and then produce a violent outburst based on preconceived notions <<

His sister is a federal judge in New Jersey. I read somewhere the other day that she’s pro-life. Anybody around here up to speed on the question?

SOURCE: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/28/jeb-bushs-campaign-shames-donald-trump-for-praising-pro-choice-sister/

EXCERPT:

The latest example came after Trump’s interview with Mark Halperin, an interviewer with an uncanny ability to push into new territory. He asked Trump who he might support for the Supreme Court. Trump dodged.

“What about your sister?” asked Halperin.

“My sister’s great,” said Trump. “I have a sister who’s on the court of appeals.”

“She’d be a good Supreme Court justice?” asked Halperin.

“I think she’d be phenomenal,” said Trump. “I think she’d be one of the best. But frankly, we’d have to rule that out.”

I trust the recently converted more than the more established.

Actually, Trump said his SISTER, a pro-choice judge in the court of appeals would be a phenomenal (his words) justice of the Supreme Court.

Depends, what do you want to hear?

Also, what day of the week is it? What time of day? How's the weather? Which way is the wind blowing? How'd the Yankees do last night? What did Trump eat for breakfast? What position would get Trump more attention?

Any of these things (and more) could change Trump's position on this (and any other) issue.

Yes I voted for Romney and yes I felt the pang of conscience. I’m not proud of what I did.

“Trump: Not As Bad As Romney”

Not exactly bumper sticker material there.

Not this one. I love that he’s poking a stick into the anthill, but somebody who says he’s never felt the need to ask God’s forgiveness is not somebody I could ever support. That’s just me.
