And Glenn Beck is a dipshit.

In a sworn court declaration following their divorce, Piccard [Brannon’s ex- wife] said her ex-husband had objected to sending their twin daughters to an elite Los Angeles academy because he “didn’t want the girls going to school with Jews”.

So, it’s SHE SAID he said that …

Like no one has ever made a false accusation during a contested divorce proceeding before….eh?

Got it …

That may be fun when you are associated with those out of power but soon Trump will be the establishment, he is already prepping for it.

Praising Obama, Clintons, nearly everyone now (even illegals) ...... the party ends at the swear in.

The anti-Establish will be those marching and rioting.

What is wrong with that?

It is something you try every day on LF....right, Deckard?

From 60 minutes link: "The issue of abortion, particularly in relation to Supreme Court appointments and overturning Roe v. Wade, provided something of a stumble for an otherwise collected Trump during the interview.

Insisting he was pro-life (a departure from his stance several years ago) and that he'd nominate pro-life judges, Trump said, "If it ever were overturned, it'll go back to the states."

When Stahl pushed Trump, suggesting that some states would completely outlaw abortions, Trump simply responded, "Well, they'll perhaps have to go to another state."

His prolife judges will vote to overturn Roe but gay marriage is settled law?

That one is a head scratcher.

His prolife judges will vote to overturn Roe but gay marriage is settled law?

Not really. Trump has always said he is pro-life. He is pro-life because he's pro-life. He's never said that he's opposed to gay marriage.

So, he's going to appoint pro-lifers to the court, that will be a litmus test for him, and he is aiming at overturning Roe v. Wade.

But he is not targeting gay marriage as an issue. He himself personally probably doesn't CARE about gay marriage, and is fine with it being the law. He's not going to make overturning the gay marriage decision a litmus test.

Of course, as it happens, any Strict Constructionist pro-life judge he puts up there will very probably also be the sort to strike down the gay marriage ruling for the same judicial reason that he struck down Roe: it's constitutional overreach by the court.

So, Trump is remaining with the banner of pro-life, which is the only socially conservative stance he strongly struck. He promised pro-life justices and he is going to fulfill his pledge. He never said he was against gay marriage, or that he was going to target that.

Judges he appoints will probably do that, but it won't be HIM doing it. He has not taken a stance against the gays. His stance is against abortion.

What this means is that the pro-lifers get their way, he fulfills his campaign pledge and the diktats of his own conscience, but he doesn't go after the gays, which would be contrary to his conscience - he doesn't have a problem with gay marriage.

But he's not blocking it either. If Strict Constructionist judges THEMSELVES take up the gay marriage issue and, applying they same logic they used to strike down Roe, strike down the gay marriage decision, Trump will shrug his shoulders, say "Well, the court has spoken" and move on.

He's not interested in that issue, and he's not going to take a stand on it in his judicial appointments. But find me a strict constructionist pro-life judge who doesn't ALSO think that the gay marriage decision was a gross overreach.

Trump is determined to get Roe repealed, and that's the extent of his judicial agenda. That will ALSO probably mean the repeal of the gay marriage decision, but Trump will wash his hands of that and perhaps even mildly disagree with the decision in public. HIS policy is pro-life, but let the gays marriage.

The tool he uses to get pro-life - the Supreme Court striking down Roe - will probably end up being the tool that those opposed to gay marriage can use to strike down that decision too, but that won't be Trump's doing.

It's not really a head scratcher. Trump is pro-life and pro-gay. So HE will test the justices he appoints on abortion, but he'll ignore the gay marriage question. The same judges will probably eventually enact their OWN agenda and strike down the gay marriage mandate, but that will be them, not Trump.
