rhadlin. I try to avoid politics like the plague. But since you directly asked...
Maybe no change is good... You mention Brown vs. Topeka. Roe v Wade is still tearing apart society... Maybe the court should have said nothing, leaving it state jurisdictions, or to the legislature?
How about Kelo 2005? Or the vast infringments of privacy and property of our drug laws? I didn't see the liberal storming the barricades over these issues...
We have too many politicians making too many laws to feed too many special interest groups. I think Texas has the right idea. One session, every two years, for 140 days. Otherwise, no legislation in session, passing no new laws...
