pretending to obey higher laws

Voting in the cause of taking away certain rights that you enjoy from others who have done you no harm because you don't personally approve of their behavior can in no way be seen as tolerance.

I think the biggest problem I have with abortion and gay marriage is that the people of Michigan voted both of them down, and the Supreme Court made us do it anyway.

This is a howler.  Are you trying to say that if the supreme court didn't decide that abortion and gay marriage were ok after Michigan voted against them (isn't that the job of the supremes?  If they always agreed with what a state ruled then why have a supreme court?)? Are you trying to say if this sequence would not have occurred then you would have been for gay marriage and abortion?  Of course not.  You were against them right from the start and always would have been.  The supreme court ruling against state law which was so odious to you a couple years ago now seems fine and dandy since you now have the supreme court.

Remember those clackety clack movies they showed in grade school with the guys who wrote with feathers, The Founding Fathers, how proud were there visages, how wise their eyes, surely they were ordained by god, which we had to stop short of saying, though about that time we were slipping under god into our pledge which made us even better Americans than before they added it.

And the Constitution, what a shining document, how wise, how wonderful, politicians carry it in their front pocket like a well, New Testament.  Everybody gives it lip service and everybody bends it when they want  to get done what they want to get done.  Which I guess is fine.

But what sticks in my craw is when somebody wants something, say states rights, that;s what the southern states were claiming when they didn't want to integrate,  It wasn't that they didn't approve of black people, they were just obeying The Founding Fathers dictum, somewhere in the constitution, about states rights, which was the higher law.  Which was bullshit of course, what they really wanted was all white schools and drinking fountains and they didn't care how they got them.  Gay rights was bad because it was against states rights, and now if abortions can be outlawed across the land that is a good thing.

So I hear this guy Kavenaugh doesn't believe the prez should be investigated.  Gosh do you think that might have been a factor?  Doesn't that sound a lot like the defendent appointing the jury, or the judge?
