Our Flounding Fathers believed that that this Republic ought to be run by the rule of SOME MEN (and not all that many) who write the laws.
And then and ONLY then will they concede that the rule of law was the key.
Not true. How do you figure that? They founded this country on Rule of Law, not men.
Our founding fathers designed this Republic to be run on the Rule of Law, not the Rule of Man. In fact the founding fathers detested the label Democrat, and the whole idea of Democracy. Simply going by whatever a majority of the voters wanted was a bad idea in their eyes. Think about two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. THAT is the Rule of Man.
Our country is and should be a country based on the Rule of Law. This brings me to Proposition 8.
The people voted essentially to ban Gay Marriage (Rule of Man), the judge, in a rare moment of sanity from this guy, shot it down because of the Rule of Law.
I hear this kind of thing from both the left and the right. "The people want this, and the people want that!" That isn't how this country was founded
I have a whole lot of issues with the whole Gay Marriage debate, and probably that's for another thread, and I don't like the way each side is acting on this issue, but I ALWAYS revert to the founding fathers on issues and even if I don't like the result, their logic is sopund and has worked for almost 250 years.
Well, no.
If the FOunding Fathers wanted to put a right to homosexual marriage in the constitution, they would have written one in there. They didn't.
Even the 9th Circus backed off Judge Walker's conclusion that there was a "consitutional right" to gay marriage and did some handstands to strike down Prop 8 anyway.
Now, I thought Prop 8 was bad law, and I'm happy to see it overturned for no other reason than it will REALLY piss off the Mormons. (Who spent their kids' college funds to support it.)
But the people of California voted- twice- to define marriage as one man and one woman. Along come activist judges who decide, ah, screw it, it would be legal if I were writing the law. That's judicial activism, and it's wrong if it comes from the left or the right.

The founders dont live any more.
The founders also left us a system in which we could make our government our own and its called the amendment system.
They WANTED us to be able to grow our country with our needs.
Why do you hate that part of the system the FOUNDERS designed for us?

most of them were slave owners
~S~
Why does the right constantly LIE about the founders intents?
Talk facts and they dissapear

The Founding Fathers created the government that lead to the greatest country that ever existed. It's funny how you idiotic lefties love it or hate it depending on how it suits your partisan looney policies.
The right is severly confused about what the founders intended.
They talked about direct democracy being bad for the people.
Direct or pure democracy is when there are no reps and the people vote on EVERYTHING!.
That is one kind of democracy.
A republic in another type of Democracy.
Yes the founders LOVED Democracy.
They did not love direct or pure democracy which makes sense becasue its a mess if the people have to vote on EVERYTHING.
