They had the right to make proper laws.
That is why you can't go around blaming politicians who HAVE tried to do something. Our system requires that the majority of people who turn out at the polls get to pick the guys who make the laws. Our forefathers assumed the people of this country would care enough about the laws of the land to make sure the best people available would run for office.
But that's not what happened. Good guys have to fight like crazy just to get elected, and then there is frequently not enough of them do get things accomplished. And there is always the fact that most of them don't even know what is in the bills they are pushing or what the potential for misuse could be the unintended consequenses.
We need to demand that our congress start exercising their power and reign in this rogue judiciary. You want to do something constructive, get it started in your area. I already have in mine. Start organizing, start talking to people. Make sure everyone knows that not one judge looked on the face of Terri Scheivo before they sentenced her to death. Talk to your neighbors, talk to the people at your church, talk to everyone and anyone who will listen and explain just how dangerous it has become.
