15. Are these guys blind...
this is about as serious as it gets...

The high court has played a huge role in doing more than just interpreting law…they have actually set precedence…Roe v. Wade for example, is a precedence and not a law…the precedence has nothing to do with law…it has everything to do with individual human needs that enable one to live a happy life… a law would be: you can not have an abortion even if you chose to not have another life form residing in you…the precedence, on the other hand is…no one can force you to preserve the life of another at the risk of that individuals health or happiness…

The whole “The high court is only there to interpret existing law” notion, has been perpetrated by those entrapped by a fundamentalist view of life for quite a while and has been ramping up to its current point…where it is at now, is, people are only looking to the high court as a sort of administration team and not the genuine power (to change precedence) that they are…those purporting the old fundamentalist energy want us to let our guard down in order to put a court in place that will not waiver from old and antiquated ways…I personally think that we are at a critical point in American history…if we close the door on the evolution & progression that we have seen over the years, we will never see full and equal rights for all…American law and the interpretation of it are both meant to progress and they were established in order to evolve as a nation of ‘Human Rights’ and not a nation of ‘Laws’…



Blah-bud-e-blah-blah-blah…amen
