What system would that be?
Federalism. The proper demarcation between the powers of the State, and the powers of the Federal government.
We have crossed way beyond the Rubicon from where we started. The 14th amendment has become a virtual carte blanche giving courts the power to impose by diktat all sorts of ridiculous and subjective nonsense.
Among the other travesties the courts claim emanate from the 14th, we have Abortion, legalization of homosexual acts, legalization of homosexual marriage, banning of prayer in schools, Anchor Babies, UnNatural citizens like Obama being allowed to become President, Wickard, Title IX, and virtually every ridiculous Federal mandate of the Courts upon the states.
