No, we shouldn't be regulating morality through the House of Representatives, but unfortunately the court system has become the battle ground of the culture war. (A tactic pioneered by the left and adopted by the right). Rather than interpret existing law, numerous judges have created new law out of whole cloth. The ability to appoint judges is what so animates the zealots on both sides. Until we figure a way to de - politicize judicial appointments I'm afraid we'll always have the johnny one - notes steering the debate.

to:Ellen from: truedog Re: morality I totally agree with you that morality should not be legislated nor should it be an issue in the courts to be decided by judges who are appointed or, even, elected, which makes them politicians. IMHO, the reason the powers that be have wormed their way into morality issues is, because, morality issues are no longer controlled in most family units. With the breakdown of family values, the politicians have another opportunity to invade our private lives. Until the schism in the family unit can be healed, we are going to be legislated whether we like it, agree, or not. It's a sad situation. Regards, truedog ]
