1) Lifetime tenures are a must in this field. Having to answer to the 'people' will result in disaster...look at congress.

2) absolutely not. a process is laid out to override the courts. amend the constitution! don't give 535 men and women the power to change your life daily, because they don't like the rulings of those THEY confirmed and allowed to take office.

3) repeal the 16th amendment and implement the fairtax. now!

4) repeal the 17th amendment and return the senate to its rightful owners... the creators of this union... this nation.... THE STATES! (nky, senators ARE NOT representatives of you.... read the constitution, the federalist papers, and understand original intent. Only about 90 years ago did we elect senators. Prior to that, they represented the state government itself. Most often appointed by the governor or legislature.)

5) for the most part, i support this. however, a clause allowing a super majority to override this rule in times of crisis should be included. what though is a crisis? 3/4's of congress most determine. and besides declared and legal wars, budgets can be unbalanced for no more than 2 years.

6) the constitution should be burned and spit upon if marriage ever is mentioned in it. it is a document of freedom, not discrimination. a guide for government, not for sexual relations. the fear of two guys being married is baffling. i serve in the military, and in the coming days gays will be allowed to serve alongside me openly. guess what? i can't wait. our uniform needs updated..... they know fashion. lol. seriously though? for those who think that gays are NOT born that way, and its a choice..... At what moment did YOU choose to be straight? or have you yet? [/B

]7) abortion. its murder. how is it that a wildflower in a national park has more protection than a beautiful innocent child in a mothers womb? how is it that its murder if i drink and drive, and kill an unborn child... yet, had the woman been on the way to the abortion clinic as it happened, she'd be 'excersising her rights'?

Romans 1:27-32 (KJV)
27 And likewise also the men,[B] leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their[B] ERROR which was meet. [/B]
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


It's a choice, otherwise God would not give stern warning in verse 32 regarding judgement for those who choose this lifestyle.
