Incredibly, it is said our right to live how we want to live can be trumped by the 'majority wiil'; that our right to raise children in an environment we desire can be trumped by such legislative 'decisions'. - That you have no right to engage in whatever your peers decree to be selfish, immoral or hedonistic behaviors.

Well said.

Of all the sellouts of our Constitution the one that is most disappointing is the Supreme Court who let the Commerce Clause destroy federalism, and allowed the remaining Bill of Rights just wither away.

I hope the founders of the next republic make note of that.

Now were being told another incredible tale, - that a 1890 U.S. Supreme Court decision supposedly said that federal officials are immune from state action, even if they are exercising constitutionally repugnant functions.

Bizarre interpretations. What will the socialists think of next?
