All this started with Willard Mitt Romney Ordering
the clerks to obey HIM and violate the Mass. Constitution.
Let's not be silly. It started with Roe v. Wade and its emanations and penumbras.
To function well, any Constitution must have a way of applying that document to a given case. Otherwise, each person determines the meaning of the Constitution for himself, which is pretty obviously a recipe for chaos.
That the Courts have grossly overstepped the bounds of their role in this regard does not change the fact that it is a necessary role.

That’s right.
And then there is the whole sordid saga of how the People of California passed a state constitutional amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman, how it was upheld by the California Supreme Court and how it was struck down by a homosexual federal judge because of a lack of standing due to the deliberate non-participation of Governor Arnold Schwarzenneger and his Attorney General Jerry Brown, both of whom refused to defend the People’s Constitutional Amendment as it was their Oath to do.
The bottomline is that we have leadership that is rotten at the top, who do not respect the People ‘underneath’ them and who view their positions and offices as property to be bought and sold.
