Why Trump Shouldn't Worry Gays

[kindy64]

Just to clarify there isn't a federal gay marriage law, the Supreme Court overturned state level bans of same sex marriage. So, the court could theoretically overturn its decision. An amendment or law is required to make it permanent.

In the United States of America, same-sex marriage has been legal in all states, Washington, D.C., as well as all U.S. territories except American Samoa, but not on Indian lands, since June 26, 2015, when the United States Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that state-level bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional.[1][2][3] The court ruled that the denial of marriage licenses to same-sex couples and the refusal to recognize those marriages performed in other jurisdictions violates the Due Process and the Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The ruling overturned a precedent, Baker v. Nelson.

I agree that no one should be complacent about anything the government does. All those lefties who were crowing about Obama's ability to make things happen with a "phone call and a pen" should feel ashamed for giving that much power and trust to one man, regardless of their political stripes. Now we see the hypocrisy as people are suddenly worried about checks and balances, an engaged/investigative media, and limiting federal overreach, when it seems like just a few weeks ago they were all for executive branch power, as long as a Democrat was in control.
