The thing is, they're going to toy with the system.

Things that have already been ruled upon (Roe vs. Wade) are subject to change, and that's not right.

If they aren't willing to let things stay the way they should, then how can the otherside compromise with them? It's all a power trip. They have a majority in ALL the major branches, so compromise isn't possible.

This is just something that should not be. The system was made to have checks and balances, and that's GONE. If you're republican with control in each major branch, then who's to stop you when you do something wrong? No one.

That is my whole problem with it all. There is no room for improvement and change. There will be no compromise. Take abortion, for example... you know how that will turn out. What are they gonna compromise on? "You can only have abortions in the case of incest or rape." Oh great.. yay. That's not a compromise at all. That's complete control saying, "Guess what? We don't have to compromise and there isn't much you can do about it."

Even if it was all democrats (I'm probably 80% dem, 20 repub) it would still be wrong because they do fucked up shit that needs to be in check by others.. I just don't see how the system can function like this.

Also with the whole gay marriage thing... I don't know what's WRONG with people, but you can't deny someone rights based on sexual preference. You can't argue that or justify it, it's fucking ignorant no matter how you look at it... I constantly compare it with how blacks/whites were segregated and the majority wanted that, yet no one says word one about it. Why are people so afraid to respond? Or better yet, lawful marriage between a black/white couple. Anyone care to tell which state that was in? Was that right?
