If your point is to put SCOTUS to a general election on some timely bases, I strongly disagree.

This would denigrate the third leg of our government up to the whims of an electorate that barely has enough brains to find the election booth.

Additionally, You think Hil is sitting on a bazillion of ill gotten money??
Who would BANKROLL SCOTUS elections??



I would agree to term limits in some form, so the justices are not rotated with POTUS or congress.. Say 23 yrs or some other Prime Number.

It is time to flush the whole DC crowd and send new ones up. That includes every branch and department including the military leadership. They have lost touch with America.

I spent the morning reading many many comments of FB and MSM news articles.

Personally, I think everyone should have the same civil rights.
Be it voting, job opportunities, religion, or sexual preferences.

It' not in my performance plan to be judgmental..

That said,, I have some concerns..

1) I worry that the LEFT will read this as the starting volley in their effort to Criminalize all religion affiliations. They have already criminalized a persons ability to live by the expressions of their personal religion. Now they can go after the Churches as well.. How long before you will see Timothy Michael Dolan, the Archbishop of NY in court for not presiding over a gay mass at the Cathedral of St. Patrick?? Our forefathers used the terms "separation of church and state" and "freedom FROM persecution" for a reason...

2a) This could lead to a complete dissolution of all States rights.. Something that I'm personally not in favor of.. This is the 2nd time SCOTUS tore into States rights,, the ruling on berry-care is a similar affront.. One needs to be careful..

2b)Oklahoma voted in MARCH,, and other states are looking at stopping the issuance of wedding licenses. Up until now this has been a States Right issue.

http://www.tulsaworld.com/newshomepa...35218d5e0.html

Is it now going to be Federalized?? Will the SCOTUS decision lead to the federalization of wedding licenses??

How about teachers, bus drivers, doctor, lawyers, hot dog venders, school food service employees(FLOTUS wants), baby sitters, lawn service??


I know, you're going to say:
I can keep the lawn service I have,,
it will make the service BETTER & CHEAPER,,
I might even get a tax credit,,
only the rich will suffer,,
and EVERYONE will have the same service..

Be careful,, very very careful...

My $00.00002..

So, the people you know is the template from which to gauge public opinion? It doesn't occur to you that you might associate with like minded people?

1% is weak,,

How many Democrats are there,
multiple that number by 5(need to count the dead),
then div by 300,000,000,
that is THE %..

Guessing 70-80 %

Hold on a second and let me find my Bullshit flag....... I'm guessing your facebook "friends"?

It's really 1% you know it and I know it.

I don't know a single person that's ok with gay marriage, not one.

You guys love to rant, yet not one of you has given a dime to the one guy fighting for your views politically. WTF, over? The retired guys have no excuse.

Click this link and give some money, or STFU.

If the support is in the 1-to-100 range then how in the hell did proposition-8 turn out the way it did?

...I'd agree that the ration is 1-to-100 of gays to folks that are sick and tired of hearing about it

At least the supremE c0urt isn't afraid to legislate because congress sure as hell cant get anything done

Time to move on and push for the legalization of polygamy.
Wonder how liberals will like that idea...

I am not religious nor am I spiritual but even I can see a problem with the opening of Pandora's Box on this issue. Our children's children will be paying for our fuck-ups today.
