...From the sublime to the ridiculous, we have one Margaret Marshall, chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, ordering the state legislature to enact, in 180 days, a law giving homosexuals the right to marry. What is to be done with this Justice Marshall?...
...If Bay State legislators will refuse to pass the law demanded by the court, and Romney will refuse to sign such a law and orders the bureaucracy to ignore the court, what could the court do? Order his arrest? Declare him in contempt...
...It is time for elected representatives to take back powers that were never constitutionally granted to any court. For the issue here is not, "What is decided?" but, "Who decides?" In a republic, the power to write laws is given to elected representatives, not judges or justices...

I believe that a large majority of the Congress could not pass a basic test on the Constitution of the United States. There is no way to test them. For starters, 90 percent believe that there is a phrase called "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. I was not questioning your particular knowledge of the Constitution.

Again, one may popint to this or that "victory" but government has still swelled exponentially. Until government starts shrinking and I can thank a republican for it I will refrain from celebrating.
I would urge you to contemplate the full meaning of the sixth quote on your about page. You seem to think that it only applies to other parties.
