I do not want to live in a nation where judges rule.
That is the nation we have today.
We need to take our country and our Constitution back, but it's going to take a majority of the people to do it. And too many are too apathetic or self-centered to do it, for now.
If national action were our only option, I'd be inclined to agree with you. But states still make most of the laws and state judges still decide most legal disputes. Furthermore, judges in some states are elected, not appointed. And some of those states permit campaign contributions from out of state.
So find a state more conservative than the national average and possessing all of the above positive characteristics and concentrate your efforts there. Perhaps the best prospect for such effort is Alabama.
