You had made the comment that you thought we were a nation of opinions simply because someone had said that they may not accept a Supreme Court decision.
It is typical of liberals to act as if conservatives and liberals are equally just spouting there own opinions or agendas in regards to the Constitution, when in fact conservatives are trying to follow the Constitution to the letter.
Your muddled perspective in that post is very familiar to me in many argumets I have had with liberals.
You said — “You had made the comment that you thought we were a nation of opinions simply because someone had said that they may not accept a Supreme Court decision.”
If it turns out that people ignore Supreme Court decisions and don’t abide by them, because it does not accord to their personal opinions, then yes, it’s a country of opinions and not one of laws.
But, if one abides by the Supreme Court decisions and thinks it should be changed, and then works within the system and the laws that we have — and gets those changes accomplished — then that would be a country of laws (and not “opinions”)
That’s the difference...

Then you were saying — “It is typical of liberals to act as if conservatives and liberals are equally just spouting there own opinions or agendas in regards to the Constitution, when in fact conservatives are trying to follow the Constitution to the letter.”
If one will *not* abide by the Supreme Court decisions, regardless of whether they agree with them (and while they may work to make changes) then — yes..., it’s just “opinions”.
For example, one can have agreed with the Constitution over the years and yet, still have voted on inserting Amendments into the Constitution. You can see something wrong in the Constitution and see that something has to be changed or improved and do it. We’ve done it many times, already. We will still continue doing that. But, it’s done within the law.
So, if the Supreme Court does not agree with those here — then changes can be made to the Constitution which can correct the problem. It’s that simple and it’s not a complicated idea or matter. But, it’s all done within the law...

And lastly, you said — “Your muddled perspective in that post is very familiar to me in many argumets I have had with liberals.”
It’s really a clear matter to me. You follow the Supreme Court decisions, no matter whether they are your opinion or not. If you think things need to be changed, then you work within the laws and you get the changes done. That’s not very muddled to me..., perhaps it is to you.. I don’t know...
