The Supreme Court ruled, I don't agree with
the ruling.
I'm of favor of marriage between -- you know,
traditional marriage, a man and a woman.
What I hope was going to happen after the
Supreme Court ruling is things would settle
down.If you go to a photographer to take pictures
at your wedding, and he says, I'd rather not
do it, find another photographer, don't sue
them in court.
But at the end of the day, if somebody is
being pressured to participate in something
that is against their deeply-held religious
beliefs, then we're going to have to think
about dealing with the law.
Senator Cruz, the U.S. Supreme Court obviously
declared same-sex marriage legal in all 50
states, a decision you have criticized.
Given the current status of the law, do you
believe a gay couple should be able to adopt?
Well, listen, adoption is decided at the state
level and I am a believer in the 10th Amendment
in the Constitution, I would leave the question
of marriage to the states, I would leave the
question of adoption to the states.
That's the way it has been for two centuries
of our nation's history until five unelected
judges in an illegitimate and wrong decision
decided to seize the authority over marriage
and wrongfully tear down the marriage laws
of all 50 states.
Senator Cruz definitely avoided saying your
name, Mr. Trump, but I think he was referring
to you and your religious liberty answer.
Would you like to respond?
I have nothing to say.
I mean, generally speaking, agree with what
he said.
I would have certainly have rather left it
to the states.
I was always in favor -- I was very surprised
when they came up with that decision.I would
have certainly -- I would have preferred had
it been left to the states and I think most
people would have preferred that.
