And every vote counts in our courts too. The Mass. and Calif. decisions in their Supreme Courts were each 4-3 decisions. One vote decided to alter the basic unit of civilization.

Exactly, and especially for the SCOTUS.  If Obama were elected he would set this court back decades. Right now we have several lower court judge appointees backed up in committee by the Democrats.

Five of the current USSC justices are Republican appointed. Likewise most of the gay loving SC in California is courtesy of the GOP. Your boy, McLame is likely to give us more Souters.

We are screwed because judges are our kings and queens. We are ruled by a judicial tyranny oligarchy. Our votes and whom we elect means little. Only the black robed star chambers will tell us how to live.

The Founding Fathers never intended the courts to become the rulers of the land.

It is the responsibility of elected officials in the executive and legislative branches of the state and federal governments to stand up to unlawful usurpation of their powers by the courts.
Elected officials are the direct representatives of the people - it is their job to enforce the constitution and the will of the people.

But that has not happened.

In General our politicians are too busy looting the treasury and watching popularity polls to perform their real duties.
They fight among themselves over whose turn it is to steal the taxpayers money while the arrogant judiciary destroy the country without challenge.
