Who should the ultimate arbiter of these big issues be?

The court has become too easily manipulated, and given its concentration of power, it was doomed from the start to be the target of manipulations.

I would not entrust the majority either to pass judgement on these issue, but perhaps a supermajority (2/3 - 3/4)?

But the founders never intended for these issues to come under the federal government. Need to go back to basics - with most of the power in the local governments.

Easy, get rid of the 17th amendment. Our senators would (probably) make better decisions if they weren’t accountable to the inner city for votes. Senators should not be voting for reelection on confirmation issues.

Webster did not change the definition of marriage after 1868 and homosexual acts were a felony in every state of the union then. Today I am ashamed of this nation. So many without even a mustard seed of faith.
