Fair enough, all though abortion really doesn’t strike me as an “important difference”. Especially considering the last major divide was slavery, a far more important issue.

From a catholic, moral perspective it is a huge difference. Remember you are on a catholic forum.

I’m not registered in neither party and I mostly identify as an independent voter.

Well obviously this gets back to the analysis of the politics of the Supreme Court nominations over the past 35 years. Of course I would focus on Democrat smearing of GOP nominated justices and the impact it had on the failure of the GOP to nominate the kind of justices who would override r v w I’m sure you would place the blame with the GOP. I would blame democrat smear tactics - many of whom are Catholics like Biden, Kennedy etc.

I don’t just blame the GOP. I blame any public official who takes this oath including Justices, Senators, Representatives, Presidents who fail to keep their oath to support and defend the Constitution. These people don’t take oaths to uphold unconstitutional supreme court decisions (this is exactly what they’ve been doing for 41 years), they don’t take oaths to uphold unconstitutional acts of Congress. Their oath compels them to fight against these abuses of power. And these are defenseless babies we’re talking about. This is utterly shameful. I attended my friends naturalization ceremony recently…new citizens take the same oath…so I’m doing my part by not voting for these people. God Bless.

Fair enough, Miguel. As for me, I cannot ignore the political history of the past 40 years and how the Supreme Court became as It is today.

We certainly wouldn’t go to war over it though. I would love to see far more differentiation among the states and less of the federal government in our lives. It amazes me that our beautiful Catholic teachings have been ignored by our secular governments because they make such good sense. Subsidiarity is a word that needs to be emblazoned across their foreheads.

Further and getting back to the thread, if there are states where people are more independent, Libertarian or other party, they can have far more impact locally this way. We should all strive to get the Feds out of our lives. I can pick my own lightbulbs, my own doctor and my insurance policy thank you very much

I agree with all of this, except in the case of the 14th Amendment equal protection clause which is the law. The states are legally required to provide equal protection. They don’t have the option not to provide equal protection the way the law is written. They can’t choose to protect some persons from being murdered and not provide the same protection to all other persons. That would be and has been a gross violation of the 14th Amendment. God Bless Lisa…always enjoy talking to you.
