I am not a social conservative but it's very good for the country that those who elected Bush feel they got what they paid for. Hopefully, everyone will see this as proof that our system works, that elections matter and do reflect the will of the majority.

[Oliver Optic]

That, my friend, is a very gracious statement on your part.

[Piers-the-Ploughman]

I would like to second Oliver; that was a gracious statement.

Although I am with no reservations 100% opposed to R v W and all the pro-homo lawmaking from the judiciary, as a citizen I could more easily accept such decisions if they were made by my fellow citizens or their directly elected representatives as opposed to a clique of so called "elite legal" minds.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

you are a good man.

[Zack Nguyen]

Thanks and God bless.

Hats off to you Larry.

I'm a conservative but I'd like to see the courts change in a way that probably differs from most. In pursuit of fairness at any cost, we're creating a society that's increasingly paralyzed by legal fear. Viewing every social choice through the narrow perspective of "individual rights" is a utopian fantasy that has produced a society scared of its shadows and mired in legal bickering.

Letting individuals use the power of the courts against others' free choices is a funny way to run a free society. That's what legislatures are for. Let us hope that this gentleman is a "strict constructionist".
