Didn’t the Founding Fathers intend for states, localities, and voters to decide matters such as abortion, sodomy, marriage law, pornography, etc.?
Weren’t those the rules of engagement they gave us on those issues?
Those rules of engagement have been breached by activist left-wing judges. The only reason any of those things are ever discussed at the federal level, or in presidential campaigns, is because liberal judges overthrew the rules of engagement our Founders gave us and federalized many of those issues, with libertarian support.
Puroresu,
If you think most libertarians support the “Living Constitution” school then I’ve got a bridge to sell you. There may be some...just like there are some folks who pretend to be conservatives that support Amnesty.
Most of the libertarians I know are “Origionalists” or “Strict Constructionists”. We tend to be very process driven folks...rather then ends justify means folks.... on the other hand, many Social Conservatives have no problem with activist judges...as long as they are ignoring the Constitution in ways that they like.
