So what should we expect? After all what we elected was Republicans!

Consider that getting diverted by such issues, important as they may be, getting the movement back towards the Constitution will solve many of these issues without needing to dilute the efforts. Getting rid of abortion on demand does far less to move us towards Freedom (by destroying the Party that fosters such evil) than moving towards Freedom will do to getting rid of abortion on demand.

Baloney. Even if they did NOTHING, it would be better than the active actions against pro-life and social conservatives which this administration has been fostering.

However, the fact that many social conservatives were elected means that something will occur.

Judicial appointments are just one of the many things which this election decisively sidetracks for the rest of Obama’s presidency.

I don’t mind people who disagree with me, as long as they don’t actively try to destroy me.

Get the Obamacare mandate and medical equipment tax abolished first. Stop the invasion of the US. That will bring in across-the-aisle support.

Meanwhile, work on the state level to write bills that don't get overturned by the out-of-control judiciary.

So far, however, their efforts are not being rewarded in public statements by GOP leaders.

I don't have a problem with this. Let's address the current battle before us instead of posturing for one that is not currently in sight. Besides, the only possible battles involve cutting off federal funding for abortions, which should be included as a small part of massive wholesale cuts in all departments. And then there's the matter of federal judges. In that regard, the spoken issue should be those judges who believe in limiting the power of the judiciary as our Founding Father intended. Period. Do that, and the valuation of life will increase.

Conservative values should include the valuation of life - not the other way around. Implement conservatism, and empower the people to decide at the local and state level how their governments will restrict abortion.

The GOP establishment has no intention of doing anything real to stop abortion, even though the primary obligation of their oaths of office is to provide equal protection for individual innocent human life.

They may well pass the pro-life industry’s immoral, unconstitutional “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act,” but all that does is to codify injustice and give license to kill all the children, as long as they are killed on schedule.

I think it’s a good idea not to mention abortion or the farce of gay “marriage”. Congress can do nothing decisive without the Supreme Court, and symbolic actions do not save the lives of unborn children. Similarly, gay “marriage” is being imposed by the courts, and Congress cannot stop that. The social issues require that the Court be staffed with decent people who see their job as interpreting the Constitution as written, not as rewriting that document. We need the White House to deal with those issues, so it’s not happening until January 20, 2017.

I am thoroughly disgusted with murdering babies for profit and with pretending that marriage means whatever Newspeak says it means. I just don’t see an opportunity for Congress to make things significantly better (particularly with a certain veto from the corrupt thug occupying our White House).

Yep, along with the Tea Party who thinks social issues are independent of economic issues. Three words: doomed to fail

If a government is not willing to uphold a fundamental right or life, nothing else, and I mean NOTHING ELSE, matters. Wake up, people.

We need to hold their feet to the fire, and not allow them to ignore these issues.

Actually there is nothing they can do on marriage. The courts are running that show. If the courts say that polygamy is Constitutional, Congress is pretty stuck.
