“Time for a Federal Marriage Amendment.”

Until the Federal injustice system becomes inclined to actually read the Federal Constitution Its hard to imagine us getting very far adding more text to it. Unless of course that text implicitly empowers and demands a separate party throw those injustice out.

One thing this sordid, pathetic, degraded mess proves: there is a need for an amendment to check the power of the judicial branch of government. If judges are going to legislate from the bench, then they should be subject to the same checks as the actual legislative branch- they should be elected, serve only a limited of term of office, and should be subject to recall by the voters. Power in our system is supposed to flow from the people to the government, and overturning a vote of the people of a state using some legalistic flimflam is a corruption of that system. Even fiscons who could care less if civilization dies (as long as the checkbook balances) need to pay attention this matter.
