But what bureaucrats do, can be changed.
Changing a law is a bit more difficult.
The problem with this is re-election, which costs money for campaigning.
A legislator is more likely to get elected if they have a large purse filled by wealthy supporters.
And many wealthy people are very liberal; e.g., Bill Gates, Michael Blumberg, etc.
Not just “liberal” in the historic sense of the word, but in the sense that they see Judeo-Christian values and morality as “evil” and oppressive. A good example is abortion, which many liberals see as a “woman’s right to choose,” while traditional Judeo-Christian teaching is that abortion is murder of the unborn human being.
So these wealthy liberals give their money to candidates who support making traditional morality illegal and even criminal, and unless the candidate favoring Judeo-Christian principles has wealthy friends (and there are plenty of wealthy people who DO support traditional morality, but not in all cities and towns across the U.S.), then the traditionally-minded candidate will lose the election because the funding by the wealthy will make the names of the non-traditionally-minded candidate more recognizable to a public which often hasn’t spent the time studying the actual issues, but bases their vote on recognizing a candidate’s name, and on who is supporting them (e.g., Wow, my favorite movie star is supporting that candidate, so I’ll vote for him/her!!), and sometimes on their political party (straight party voters who ignore the issues).
So you’re right, it’s not easy to get a decent candidate elected, and often “bad” candidates get elected strictly because they have “friends” with bigger purses…and that’s why it’s so important to use the Checks and Balances system built into our amazing U.S. Constitution and encourage our Presidents to appoint judges with a good, traditional moral compass and encourage our Senators to confirm these candidates, and ask our Senators to please NOT confirm those judges who lean towards legalizing practices that have been considered immoral or evil for centuries until the last few years.
