[[I’m sorry, but this is far from Fraud by Court. When you don’t like a decision, work to get it reversed.]]

How does one go about that? Does it go to congress to rewrite the court case in such a way that the supreme court would have to take up the case again? I seriously doubt they will ever reverse their opinion (The SC I mean),

Good question. First, get the judges who were on your side on the decision. Ask them, what were the other sides most telling arguments. Often courts will draw a road map in a decision as to how to fix the law.

Then find a way around the problematic parts. Remember, for each element of a public debate process, there is the other side who believes passionately that they are right. There is often middle ground. Often what they “need” may have little importance to what you want/need, and you could care less about what is important to them. When that happens, great, we all win.

Gay marriage is a classic example. Great issue; horrible tactics on our side. Had we been willing to create a category of relationship where gay couples would have received the same tax advantages as straight couples, jint property, etc, or something that was a huge issue for them, the ability for a “life partner” to make legally binding decisions such as pulling the plug on a terminally ill spouse, we probably could have pushed the actual marriage issue off for 20 years, possibly forever.

Remember, you do make peace with your enemies, not your friends!

Also, elect enough reps to pass a CA... and good luck on that.
