In recent decades, theories grew from academe and law schools that elected legislators, governors, presidents and the sovereign people are unqualified to decide the great issues that confront the nation. Therefore, it is up to enlightened jurists

Well, it is obviously true!!!

Even in the most Liberal State in the nation, the people voted in a popular referendum that marriage was limited to one man and one woman.

Now, we all know that’s not right!!!

The courts had to step in and decide once and for all that gays have just as much right to get married as normal, sane people.

I strongly recommend the Hillsdale College online course Constitution 101. It's free and informative. The first lecture states that the Constitution has/is experienced three crises: the Declaration of Independence and Revolution, Slavery and Secession, and Progressivism (to include both Roosevelts and Wilson, IMHO). Wilson stated that he believed in the evolution of human nature, not just Darwinian physical evolution. As such, we had (in his statements) evolved beyond the point of needing the government to be constrained by law because people no longer had to fear the people in government - and then pointedly proved the fallacy of that statement by his own actions. Remember that this was the same crowd that advocated selective human breeding and that Wilson's history of the U.S. was the direct source of the themes of "Birth of a Nation".

Transnational progressivism is a form of amoral familism in which the only standard for right and wrong is that which advances the cause of the Progressive family/tribe. In my mind, this fully explains the Democrat's complete and utter lack of shame at the depredations of their own members unless throwing specific individuals under the bus serves the "higher" goal of totalitarianism under their hobnailed Burkenstocks.

More like Black Robed Tyrants. Subversive groups have long used the courts to obtain by decree what they could not achieve at the ballot box.

Thus, the majority is forced to live by rules they do not support. One might call it the Tyranny of the minority.

How much longer will the majority submit to the ridiculous state of things in USA???
