You know what. Two hundred years ago slavery sucked. But you know what would’ve sucked worse? Having some judge telling people in that state that slavery was illegal. That really would’ve sucked.

Yes, it would have.

As terrible an institution as slavery was, the way to abolish it was to pass a law: in our case, the Thirteenth Amendment. Having a judge declare, in the absence of any particular legal authority, that slavery was prohibited would have been a terrible precedent – great in the short term department, but fatal to the cause of having a nation that works by government of the people.

No, merely a plea as a poster.

I TOTALLLY agree. It’s insane that in our constitutional republic that all of the judges are still put in their positions because of birth decree or some watery tart distributing swords.

I don’t know why anyone would be against same sex marriage.
