They do not believe people can or will act responsibly. Yet most do. This simple fact is too often ignored. Both conservatives and liberals look to the judicial system to mediate, determining good and evil, right and wrong. Conservatives look for the enforcement of existing laws, consistent with the Constitution.
Liberals look for reinterpretation, a loophole.
They prefer law making by the courts, not by elected representative legislatures. Therefore, be thankful this holiday that the Supreme Court of the United States acted wisely, ruling there are no loopholes in the Constitution. With this single document, Americans have created and maintained a nation that is the envy of the world. Americans had faith in their courts, faith in the party system, and wanted nothing more than a decision that reflected the true outcome of the election. There was nothing but blessed patience and utter confidence.
