Targeted lawsuits on specific issues which we can win may be a strategy. But filing hundreds of suits just for the purpose of “tying up the courts”, I’m not sure what that would accomplish with the exception of emptying our pockets.

I’ve got my issue, it hasn’t changed for 10 years.

"But filing hundreds of suits just for the purpose of “tying up the courts”, I’m not sure what that would accomplish with the exception of emptying our pockets."

Okay. So I may have taken my suggestion to extreme. Still, if there is any hope of returning to Constitutional adherence when so much of our nation wants and thinks they deserve STUFF from others, I see the only recourse in the Federal courts. The political process is a farce. You must see that by now?

To paraphrase Alexander Tytler, "Once the populace realizes they can vote themselves the largess of the treasury, the Republic is doomed." This has been the case for some 40 years. Obama, Hillary (SoS), Reid, and Pelosi will continue down that road. We are heading towards the socialist plans of Clinton 2.0.

Such a political mechanism along with the ill-informed American populace will see the end of our Great Experiment in self-government. People want goodies. That's why a unqualified charismatic man is heading towards our White House; he promises them stuff. Sound familiar? Think 1993.

How do you fight that nowadays? I say in the courts with every fiber of our Conservative being while we ignore party affiliations.

Do you really want to keep prancing around with the Republican flag and telling all that everything will be good a couple of years from now if you just vote Republican ticket? Hasn't seemed to work to well, has it? Newt's Contract for America was cool, but Newt is now irrelevant.

Have you not learned anything from the RINO's? Bob, the Republican party has left you. Geeze, some are already talking about working with Obama, (Spector, Snowe, et al).

The courts are our last bastion. Yes, I know they are filled with liberal justices appointed by clinton, but it is worth the try. There is NO other recourse in our political process.

I’ve got my issue, it hasn’t changed for 10 years."

Just what IS your issue, if I may ask?
