THE SUPREME COURT, OR WHY DID MADISON & CO. GO TO THE TROUBLE?

In my lifetime various Supreme Courts have taught me the insignificance of things I valued. Life is insignificant, for it's quite OK to a murder an unborn child; the flag is insignificant, for its quite OK to burn or otherwise desecrate one; and most lately, we have that marriage is insignificant, because a couple of sexual deviates can get together and claim to be just that.

With so much of insignificance in the country, I wonder why James Madison and colleagues went to the trouble of writing laws to govern us. What do you suppose they would have thought of the transmogrifications enumerated above?

That question can be answered by attending to something Mr. Madison once wrote.

"We have staked the whole future of America's civilization ... upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments."

If Madison & Co. would not have approved those decisions, what the hell are the likes of Briar, Cajun, Ginsbag, and Sortofminor doing if not ruining the sort of country of which the founders dreamed?
