But the religious right, just like the moderates can lobby him. He can refuse or accept depending on his convictions, and he can take the ensuing consequences. Nothing more, nothing less.
I will keep voting Republican because I have no other choice at the moment. But they are not able to deliver a judiciary that can extricate us from the current judicial circumstances. It's the judges, stupid was never a convincing argument. Nixon gave us Blackmun, Reagan gave us O'Connor, Bush I gave us Souter, it's a crap shoot, at best.
We need a few more men like the Founding Fathers, plain and simple. If a third party ever produces such, they won't be able to handle the 'influx.'
I agree judges will not solve a thing. Too many become corrupt by the absolute power they've discovered they hold. The real solution is to right the balance of powers, and that will take acts of Congress as well as us educating the public about the Constitution since public education no longer does.
I agree on the rest. The President acts on principle, so do Christians. We have a similiar goals so we support each other even when in disagreement, as those goals match more than not. This is how it works in politics and nothing to be apolgetic about.
