who is ‘we’? You mean “we the people” that elected Obama, Clinton and the RINOs? “we the people” elected Presidents that chose all these Supreme Court justices. “we the people” elected a Republican congress that allowed Obama to do whatever he wanted.
The "we" of Obergefell are 14th Amendment corporate representatives, officers and paper corporations which have no rights, only privileges, and therefore are not the vast majority of Americans.

(who then gave it to us TWICE and I'll bet he's not finished)
NO. I don't mean any such reduced and corrupted idea of "we the people." You are talking about a "mob," not about citizens.
I was most definitely referring to the "We the People" of the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America, which they duly ratified, through their respective State conventions.
In short, I was referring to "We the People of the United States, [who] in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Methinks people on that track of understanding would never have voted for Obama in the first place.
Sigh. You bring to mind John Adams' observation that the Constitution was made for a moral people, no other. Which evidently a great many people are not these days. Which is how you get an Obama, and how you may get a Hillary. Or a RINO like Jeb Bush. It seems RINOS don't much care for the Constitution. They just want to win.
Jeb Bush's advocacy of Common Core is a case in point. It is completely blind to the fact that there is no constitutional warrant for federal government involvement in education. Yet Bush evidently doesn't see that as any kind of constraint on federal action in this area.
What properly should happen is the abolition of the federal Department of Education, and acknowledgement that education is a power retained by the States since Day One. Among other things, that would save us taxpayers a ton of money. Plus it would dis-employ a whole bunch of progressive educrats....
Thanks for writing, plain talk!
