Lucky for him, he had appointed judges who were biased to the left, and so he never had to take a stand either way.

    The constitution took care of it. That was the right way. People's civil rights should never be subject to popular vote, period.

    BTW, almost all of the judges who ruled in favor of SSM were appointed by conservatives. Most were conservative themselves, but those conservative judges followed the constitution, not their personal feelings. That is how it's supposed to to work.

    first, you have nothing really to complain about. SCOTUS has only revisited a case one time that I know of. You won't lose anything you've gained in the past 10 years. What other gains could you possibly desire. Do you not have the same rights as I? or any of us? What makes you so damned special that you have to trample our rights to exert your will over anything?
    Trump has done nothing, nothing to you.
    What was any of his opponents offering you?

    You know I get it that people do not like Trump on his character. I personally do not like his character either but I do support him on his vision on changing the direction of this country. None of you anti-Trump people can see this since all of his actions in trying to change things that benefit all of us is sitting in the senate who also hate Trump refusing to do their job.

    No, I hate all of Trump's policies too. Make no mistake about that. That he is a vile human being is secondary.

    An aspect of his character is also to tell people what they want to hear, not to mention making broad unrealistic promises with no details or explanation of how he would achieve them.

    Character is important. Trump's character isn't great.

    The Senate's job is not to do his bidding, as though they were his subordinates. That's what Trump does not understand, nor will he ever.
