    In contrast, Trump is actually nominating people who he thinks will will be biased in their decisions, not people who he thinks will actually adhere to the constitution. Why anyone thinks that's a good idea is beyond me.

    Well then, Obama gets credit for nominating people who he thought would be biased in their decisions, not for legalizing gay marriage. Had he been a leader and pushed through legislation, or even tried to do so, then he would be deserving of the credit.

    Biased toward the constitution. Why anyone on the left thinks that is a good idea is beyond me.

    Your question is irrelevant to the topic. It’s a deflection.

    I just turned your logic around on you. For what it's worth, I had hoped he would at least try to legalize it the right way. I felt then and still do, that the best way is through hearts and minds, not judicial activism, but he let us down. Lucky for him, he had appointed judges who were biased to the left, and so he never had to take a stand either way.

    Oh, Obama never nominated anyone who he thought would be biased in his favor, no siree, he never did anything like that......get real.

    What do you want, Lee, that you don't already have? Name one thing. You have access to everything every other citizen has, heck, we're always hearing about how well you're doing, so, is what you want, special treatment for being a gay man?
