The author of this piece should have made at least one substantive suggestion as to how to fix the problem. Had he suggested an Article V Convention, I would have pinged the list. But beyond rhetoric and outrage, there’s not much substance here.

I’m sure it’ll cause a few folks to cry a bit, but I really
think it’s time for Texas to secede. This crap ain’t for us.

It’s been a good long run, and we love y’all..

But irreconcilable differences and SEE YA.

Dang!
You have a ping list?

Thank you for the ping, Jim.

Good read. If traditional values are of no importance, then the nation that has been our traditional home is probably not worth defending to some people.

One can only wonder as threats build over the next twenty years, if there will be anyone willing to defend against them.

Job complete, for the Liberal Left.

Buuuump!

I totally agree and it is about time

***the decision is really not about gay rights, but about the future of our constitutional republic, and the ability of the people to govern themselves rather than be governed by an elite panel making up laws and rights as they go***

I am glad to see this properly framed. The Left has been toiling for over 80 years to gain control of the public agenda; they have worked to control education and the media - to control access to information of young minds.

Fifteen years ago I was posting on FR that we are being ruled by an oligarchy... now my warning is becoming obvious. With the appointment of Breyer and Kennedy patriots could still hold confidence that the Constitution would prevail - through the SCOTUS. However, with the appointments of Kagan and Sotomayor it became obvious that the goal is not to reinterpret the Constitution - it is to overthrow it, to nullify it!

Naturally, many Republicans understood this and voted to confirm them anyway... Then you have Gorge W. appointing a covert Leftist Chief Justice cum traitor revolutionary while presenting him as a strict constructionalist - a Constitutionalist.

It cannot be surprising that Americans - while planning their weekend BBQ's, considering another car and coping with a stagnant economy - let their freedoms slip away but it is becoming undeniable. When individual choices were eliminated in Egypt a short while back over thirty million people took to the streets and overthrew a choking tyranny. Does anyone here on FR think that we could motivate 30 million Americans to take to the streets to demand restoration of their Constitutional rights?

Unhappily: I doubt it.
