And now the arrogant justices are telling us that they are the moral arbiters.

I disagree. It would seem that have appointed themselves arbiters of liberty (which would have been nice a long time ago).

Lawmakers in states are still free to create laws as long as they can prove that in restricting certain liberties (thinking speed limits here) the individual who might otherwise wish to exercise it (say, 60mph in front of an elementary school) would, in doing so be expected to invariably cause harm to others.

LOL! Those "arbiters of liberty" can make liberties appear and vanish in the wink of an eye, solely on their unreviewable say-so, solely according to their collective five-headed personal opinion. That isn't a democracy or a republic. It is a judicial tyranny.

Very soon they will cause your "liberty" to keep and bear arms to vanish according to the liberal mood and whim of the age.

You detest representative democracy. You want five tyrants to control our lives.
