 I bought into the feminist/hedonist propaganda for a long time, I sort of took the position that abortion was regrettable but who am I to tell a woman what to do -- that's between her and her values -- but my opinion changed. Not sure exactly when, sometime in my early 40s maybe? I think it's when I took a hard look at the damage that feminism had done to marriage and the relationship between men and women. What makes it okay for a woman to terminate a child, but if a man forces a woman to abort his child then that parent's preference becomes evil? Because it's her body? What about the child's body?  I bought into the feminist/hedonist propaganda for a long time, I sort of took the position that abortion was regrettable but who am I to tell a woman what to do -- that's between her and her values -- but my opinion changed.

-Yeah, the whole structure of the U.S. republic is that it is not a direct democracy. Now, I ask you the reader, how many nations can you name that are a direct democracy? China? Cuba? North or South Korea? Australia? Iceland? Venezuala? Let me give you a hint here -- the number is less than 1 and equal to 0. Anyone that pretends that a direct democracy is ideal or even feasible applied to any large population is a propagandist or a first class moron.+===== The Supreme Court is Anti-Democratic =====
  
 +Yeah, the whole structure of the U.S. republic is that it is not a direct democracy. Now, I ask you the reader, how many nations can you name that are a direct democracy? China? Cuba? North or South Korea? Australia? Iceland? Venezuala? Let me give you a hint here -- the number is less than 1 and it's a whole number. Anyone that pretends that a direct democracy is ideal or even feasible applied to any large population is a propagandist or a first class moron. Individual liberty, self-autonomy, basic human rights have been trampled on by majorities throughout history, so why anyone would be in favor of a direct democracy is beyond me.
 +
 +===== The Supreme Court is Prone to Political Manipulations =====
 +
 +Yeah, name any branch of government, anywhere in the world, at any point in time, that isn't? Again, I'll wait for an answer. Again, the hint is this -- the number is less than 1 and it's a whole number. The idea that's it's possible to run a country (1) as a direct democracy; or (2) have a government body free of political manipulations is bizarrely naive for a grown man to hold. That's now the ideas that come out of the American Founding -- the idea that comes out of the America Founding is to take power and split it up between different branches of federal government and between the federal government and state and local powers. By dividing these powers up, you make it harder for a tyranny to go unchecked. So, yes the U.S. Supreme Court, despite legal idiots that espouse otherwise, is a political creature. But for ding-a-ling Blumenthal to think that just because Trump appointed 3 Justices that Trump was going to get everything he wanted from them is daft. If that were the case all 3 of the Justices he appointed should have sided with him when the country was undergoing a coup via fraudulent voting.
 +
 +No, the Supreme Court has its ideologies but they don't just do the bidding of the predominant party in all things.
 +
 +===== The Democrats are Lackluster in their Criticism of the Supreme Court =====
 +
 +Well they are pretty darn good at mischaracterizing its function -- but I don't know what more they could do to tear down the nation than they are already doing. They will never get an amendment passed to get rid of the Supreme Court so the best they can do is put the country into a civil war where the entire system is chucked out the window and then the glorious party can rule the country with its iron fist. And they sure are doing everything they can do to bring about that. But in the meantime, they can always try packing the court. Which they nearly got done in 2021.
