Recent comments by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia gave even Donald Trump pause.

Trump Sunday said he "didn't like" statements Scalia made last week during oral arguments on an affirmative action case.

In remarks defenders say were intended to summarize an argument the court was considering, Scalia raised the issue of whether it might be better for some African-American students to go to "a less-advanced school ... a slower-track school where they do well."

Asked about the remarks, Trump, who has supported affirmative action, reluctantly took issue.
