you have more faith in the courts than the rest of us.
you may be right.

But the courts are not what they once were... and their makeup and appeal flow can be messed with politically to benefit the powers that be.

This feels different than the birther obama thing. and they are going to try and MAKE it different with the blessing of the media, the GOPe, and Hillary too..

They would not try it, if they did not think it would work.

You cannot imagine how little faith I have in the courts for decades. Justice is generally achieved only by stealth and guile of litigants. SCOTUS is and has long been a whorehouse for every perverted anti-constitutional special interest in the land.

Call me Pollyanna but I still believe the courts (if the right judges are appointed) can be restored. Just as Scalia was leading the SCOTUS and court system back to sanity on the Second Amendment, he died. if the RTKBA can be restored, so can the Right to Life, normal marriage, and a lot of other principles laid waste by a court system run amok. The choke point is the appointment process. We need a POTUS who actually understands the issues and determines to nominate only thoroughly vetted justices and judges who WILL restore the constitution. We need a Senate that will confirm those judges and Muffy's Trust Fund and the Chamber of Commerce be damned.

For the future of our civilization, the shadows lengthen and we had better get our priorities straight and succeed or this, the last best hope on earth, will be gone forever. Ted Cruz may be a flawed vehicle but he is all we have. We all fall short of the glory of God. The question is how far short are we willing to fall?
