What We Most Need Now: a Strong Court in Action, Embracing Its Limited Role...

Read the whole thing
If the system as a whole is to hold, we need a strong Court in action embracing its limited role, and directing the important decisions that follow public and open discussions on weighty societal issues back onto the American people. ...

The different life values and cultures in different regions will determine the local laws and rule-making policies and procedures the populations living there choose to adopt and enforce.  Yes, even in this 21st advanced century.  Law enforcement is local, so is legislating.  ...

It's not for nine robed persons to decide these issues of importance;  it's for them to understand and lead us on who makes the rules, who is overstepping the rulemaking, whose Constitutional rights are being overstepped in the rulemaking / shut out of the process (not at all the same as simply losing as a discrete and insular minority, as the footnote attests), and what courts should be deciding which things...

I trust the nine currently on the bench understand the Rule of Law better than the uneducated legal scholars with opinions not on Constitutional legality, but on the importance of the social issues themselves.  

If the Court is wise enough to steer these issues back to the people with opinions who rightfully believe in many cases and places that their own decision-making abilities are being usurped by the Elites elsewhere, I think we've still got us a country with a strong democracy.

Or, you could go with the collective spin, and run with this (lol!) from the current favored Elitist mouthpiece, Mr. Ezra Klein assembling his experts and advising his crew, including those in the media who echo his "work": 

Democrats should do a lot of polling to figure out which of their views are popular and which are not popular, and then they should talk about the popular stuff and shut up about the unpopular stuff....

Pray for the wisdom of the Court, my friends. 

Numberswise, we've got Klein and company.  Elite-connections-wise, he's working again to spin against the country's interests as a whole.  But we're not all Cali, Ezra.  We don't want to end up living like that in our communities across the country.  

Haven't you travelled and read enough about America now to understand who we are as a nation, our history traditions, and people?  

E pluribus unum -- the fingers composing the fist?  

If you don't know, learn.  If you've forgotten, start remembering...

And if you  still have to rely on polling to understand the basic needs of your people, well God bless you...

Democrats should do a lot of polling to figure out which of their views are popular and which are not popular, and then they should talk about the popular stuff and shut up about the unpopular stuff....
