I take it your frog pot at a boil feels like a hot-tub to you?

Great line! No, I'm not in favor of judges making laws. I am in favor of our duly elected representatives making law. It's why we elect them. And as far as the nutty SC liberal judges are concerned, I want them replaced. Replaced by conservative judges. And it will happen - as long as we keep electing conservative Presidents and conservative representatives.

Republicans can't undo 40 years of liberal control overnight. It takes time. But the people are with us and it's happening. I believe in this country as much as you do, but I believe in following the laws as they are until we can change them. It's fair play and it's what Lincoln spoke about in his speeches. He was asked if a person had to follow a bad law and he said "yes", but they had an obligation to change that law. He went on to explain that in countries where a bad law could not be changed, the situation was different.

I don't believe in revolution - not when the only reason for it would be that "my side didn't win". The liberals won this one -- but IMHO it will be a short lived victory.

I believe the people will keep electing Republicans and we'll be able to reverse this ruling.

If we can't, they the other side is making better arguments. Here's my bottom line: you either trust the people or you don't. And I do. I trust the people to make the best choice.

"The liberals won this one -- but IMHO it will be a short lived victory."

Nobody won this one. Even the flaming liberals at DU are going nuts over this ruling. They're every bit as pissed as we are. Take a poll and I think you'll find 95%+ of Americans are against this ruling. This is not a government of, for, and by the people.

"I believe the people will keep electing Republicans and we'll be able to reverse this ruling."

Justice John Paul Stevens (born 1920, appointed by Gerald Ford in 1975)
Justice Anthony Kennedy (born 1936, appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1988)
Justice David Souter (born 1939, appointed by George H. W. Bush in 1990)

Three of the justices who voted for this garbage were appointed by Republicans. It's now our own judges who are shooting us in the foot. Blind faith is quant, but not particularly helpful when you're dealing with out of control government.

"Here's my bottom line: you either trust the people or you don't. And I do. I trust the people to make the best choice."

And if you polled on this issue, I'll bet 95%+ of Americans are against this ruling. The SCOTUS is so completely wrong on this ruling that every liberals can see it. The only ones who apparently can't see it are the 5 morons in robes who voted for it.
