| | | I'm sure the Congress does it, too -- but I feel the Court has gone just too far on some essential liberties.
I don't want to seem indifferent to any loss of rights, but I think your concerns are out of proportion. Legislatures have been denying rights, basic rights, not tweaks but disenfranchisement, to large numbers of people throughout the history of this country. We still have laws on the books that make fornication and sodomy felonies, for heaven's sake. Many places still have blue laws. Reproductive rights are under assault. Voting rights. Legislatures do that. The courts, OTOH, serve to protect, for the most part, when basic rights are cavalierly disregarded by legislatures. |
