I hope tht Roe vs Wade gets overturned, but probably for totally different reasons then you do.

The Constitution is BLANK on moral issues such as abortion, therefore the federal government has NO power to state anything.

If the Constitution says NOTHING, then those are the places for the states, and the people, please see the 10th amendment.

You may think it is immoral, but in fact that does NOT matter in the least. IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!! Because the laws of abortion, yes, or no, are state issues and should have been tossed back to the states to decide for themselves.

For a group to use the federal government to shove their views down everyones throat through judicial activism is not only immoral, it should be illegal.

This is a republic, NOT a democracy, that is why the Bill of Rights was spelled out, because the states were afraid of this happening.

You want to fix this mess?

Here is what you do, repeal the popular election of senators, and have them voted upon by the state legislatures as it was originally, it was a check and balance, that check is now gone, states rights are GONE!! Because the senators were there to protect those rights.

And 2nd, get government back under its constitutional restraints, and I MEAN EVERY ONE OF THEM, not just the ones you disagree with, but the ones that you think they should do as well, but are indeed unconstitutional, such as federal welfare, SSI, NEA, etc, etc, ad nauseum......

One of these days they are going to push it too far, and we shall see who holds the REAL power in this country, the elites, as they like to pretend, or the people, who the elites pretend matter.

I agree with repeal of the XVII amendment. But I do not believe the ultimate answer to anything lies in the political sphere. People have been dead wrong so many times when they thought a change in law would fix society. Look what happened to the Constitution. It was supposed to limit government. It has been used, for a long, long time, to expand government.

The answer is more difficult than winning elections. Minds must be changed. Institutions which mediate between government and citizen must be made stronger and, in many cases, recreated. Posted a thread earlier tonight on the subject:

No comments so its a short read.

We know who holds the real power in this country, and it isn't anyone that holds elective office.
