Re abortion .. do conservatives really think abolishing abortion is a winning strategy going forward? Their hardcore religious base may finally get their wish .. but I just dont see many new voters or independents joining a party that puts religion above politics and the Constitution.

re SC to block Dem laws ... if this happens repeatedly and it becomes apparent that the conservative SC is not applying the law but now just a political branch serving just conservatives ... wont that be the end of the SC? Why wouldnt Dems just add 43 new justices and make the SC the theatre of the absurd? Wouldnt the deference to the SC be greatly diminished in the eyes of Americans?

Too me, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, due process, etc is where most see the most threats by folks who want the government to step in and regulate/restrict both. Liberal lobby groups have thrown a lot of money at getting rid of religious issues...you can’t argue that, simply fact...across many states.

You guys hate the freedom part of civil liberties and want big brother.

A lot of people/media go 2nd amendment, Abortion, etc, but I don’t.
