We have come to this. Judge Sotomayor made the point that a law based on morality would be unconstitutional. We need an amendment to put God back into our Constitution as a nation under God. Precedent - Prohibition was reversed.

Judge Sotomayor made the point that a law based on morality would be unconstitutional.

Such an absurdity can be uttered only because America has rejected morality.

No amendment to the Constitution can restore this country to morality, nor can our immorality be blamed on the lack of one. To quote John Adams:

"This Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is inadequate for the governing of any other."

First you become a moral and religious people. Then you get good governance. (The converse is also true.)
