The founders also laid out a Principle that the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution. Whether anyone likes it, legal abortion has been the law of the land since the early 70's.

I think you've really exposed yourself here as nothing more than a pragmatic, unprinicled political observer. If the U.S. Supreme Court decided tomorrow that Sabramerican no longer deserves any legal protection whatsoever, I am quite sure that you'd consider the U.S. Supreme Court and "the law of the land" completely irrelevant.

So I guess since then, you, and those who think like you, see no reason for the existence of the United States.

That's exactly what makes cases like Kelo v. New London and Roe v. Wade so damaging to this nation. In the last 40 years, the U.S. Supreme Court has done something that the Soviet Union and al-Qaeda could only dream of doing -- creating a civic/social order in this country that will eventually collapse under its own weight.

And lest you think things like "guns, gays, and God" are minor issues, just understand how closely these issues are related to many others that you might consider more important. For example, I actually look upon the whole ongoing illegal immigration debate with amusement -- because looking at it outside the context of a larger political/moral debate makes no sense at all. A nation that kills a million of its own children every year and then allows a million illegal immigrants to invade the country in the same year doesn't need "immigration reform" -- it needs a f#cking psychiatric examination from top to bottom.

What a remarkabe argument.

Maybe you don't like the system of Government but it is what it is.

The Supreme Court interprets the Constitution. Sometimes badly.

And the Congress often pass bad law.

And the President something makes really stupid decisions.

But that, checks and balances and warts and all, is the Constitutionally formed Government of the United States.

I'm sorry it doesn't meet with your approval. You can stay in bed.

No argument here.
