Craig, it's all hearsay regardless of where you get your information, unless you were in the room when these judges issued the decisions which are regarded as bench legislating. As Mike says, the dems typically work with the other party, trying for consensus, and now the republicans are changing that.

And no, I am not comfortable legislating faith or morality. Freedom does indeed have a strange definition right now. Freedom is for industrial/commercial entities. Regulation is for people. That's the opposite of what I would prefer. And I'm a fairly conservative Catholic. Frankly the Big Guy gave us, more than anything, a choice. Mandating certain behavior and prohiting certain others is not going to slip anyone into Heaven sideways. It needs to be a free choice, including the opportunity for bad choices.
