Amen to that!
Who would have protected your right to bear arms when your city or state passed a law making them illegal, if not SCOTUS (McDonald v. City of Chicago 2010)?
It has its place. We all disagree sometimes, This is why it is important to elect a conservative president.
Whatever SCOTUS has done still doesn’t change the facts. They eat Queerios for breakfast while the majority of America eats Cheerios.
It is a transition eerily similar to shariah ayatollahs of Iran. It is unbelievable what they did.
When our progenitors came to this country through Ellis Island and were "processed" they had to become at least literate enough to write their name and to pass a citizenship test before they were officially Americans. The system of checks and balances; the three beaches of government and their function- a list of basics to know for when they pulled that lever in the voting booth.
How many people in the last election could tell you any of these? Are they still being taught in school? Our most important privilege as Americans is the right to vote. We have to pass tests to drive, work for the government, get a diploma from high school or equivalent to get most jobs. Yet the most important thing we do for this country is given with only the prerequisite of being 18 years old. Do they have the foresight, knowledge of history, concern for the nation above their own personal interests? Looking back, I'm not certain I did...
He closed off what was once known as”The People’s House” to the people, yet uses it to pander to the lgbtwxyz (the letters seem to be increasing as they go along) community. I wonder what the WH looks like inside now?

Lol, don’t forget the lava lamp!

Post/thread BUMP!
Scalia's right, but this has been coming a long time, ever since the first "gay-marriage" </off cant> case in 1981 in Hawaii, then called Baehr vs. Lewin. Hawaii shut that case down ("mooted" it) by passing a state law addressing the issues involved and repudiating the gay idea of "marriage". Now Hawaii can't do that.
In 2001 the leading homolitigator, Evan Wolfson of Lambda Legal, gave a long interview to a gay e-zine about their strategy, which was always to get a Fourteenth Amendment case before SCOTUS and cry "equal protection of the laws", and wait for a homer liberal to write them their decision and stuff their crap down the throats of the 50 States.
Point is, it was always their strategy to get Anthony Kennedy to give them what they wanted, from the Supreme Court bench.
Congress has long abdicated their responsibilities to the Executive. They now exist to exist and suck up K-Street Buck$.
