More specifically, ignorance of the Constitution and its history is epidemic. Widespread constitutional ignorance is evidenced by the following links.
http://tinyurl.com/npt6tThe consequence of widespread constitutional ignorance is that the people are impotent to stop renegade, pagan-minded judges from exposing families to all kinds of perversions and corrupting influences.

But despite today's liberal perversions of our 1st A. freedoms, Thomas Jefferson had noted that it was never the intention of the Founders for free speech, press, etc., not to be regulated in some way. The truth of the matter is that the Founding States had reserved the power to regulate our 1st A. freedoms for themselves regardless that they prohibited the federal government from doing so. See for yourself.
"3. Resolved that it is true as a general principle and is also expressly declared by one of the amendments to the constitution that ‘the powers not delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people’: and that no power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press being delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, all lawful powers respecting the same did of right remain, & were reserved, to the states or the people: that thus was manifested their determination to retain to themselves the right of judging how far the licentiousness of speech and of the press may be abridged without lessening their useful freedom, and how far those abuses which cannot be separated from their use should be tolerated rather than the use be destroyed; and thus also they guarded against all abridgement by the US. of the freedom of religious opinions and exercises, & retained to themselves the right of protecting the same, as this state, by a law passed on the general demand of it’s citizens, had already protected them, from all human restraint or interference: ..." --Thomas Jefferson, Kentucky Resolutions, 1798. http://tinyurl.com/oozooAs a side note, consider that post Civil War constitutional lawmakers came to grips with the problem that some states had been abusing their 10th A. protected powers and made the 14th A., the honest interpretation of this amendment limiting such powers.
Getting back to state powers to protect family values from corrupting influences, the question to ask concerning the unwanted influence of today's corrupt judges is what happened to the 10th A. protected powers of the states to regulate such things as abortion, pornography, gay marriage, etc.? Indeed, when was the last time that you heard anything about the 10th Amendment?
The key to understanding the mysterious disapperance of the 10th A. is to consider that constitutional flunky FDR foolishly encouraged the USSC to politically ignore the 10th Amendment. He did so so that the USSC could give the green light his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal Programs.
But what's worse is that corrupt justices then began using FDR's license to ignore the 10th A. and traditional family values to advance their special-interest agendas.
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain how 10th A. protected state powers were wrongly politically repealed by the USSC when FDR established his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs.
And this post (<-click) exposes how corrupt justices then began using FDR's politically correct license to ignore the 10th A. to unlawfully stifle traditional family values, including the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade. Note that the post first references two non-abortion cases in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different, troubling perspective.
Again, regardless that Founder's reserved for the states the power to decide limits on our 1st A. freedoms to protect family values, FDR's 10th A.-ignoring establishment of federal spending programs set off a chain-reaction of case decisions by special-interest, pagan-minded judges which have tragically eroded traditional family values.
The bottom line is that the people need to wise up to the very serious problem of wide-spread corruption in the federal and state governments, particularly where the 10th A. protected powers of the states are being ignored. The people need get in the faces of judges who are not upholding their oaths to defend the will of the majority as reflected by state and federal laws and constitutions, demanding that they resign from their jobs.
The signatures being collected from Californians to decide on a one-man, one-woman marriage amendment to their constitution in November, for example, is definitely a good idea.

The farther you get away from God, the more preblems you have. Leftist doctrine as a substitute for God is only destroying America.
Some folks may just laugh at this matter but the real serious implications may include civil unrest and the fracture of a nation.
