Personal insights regarding political, religious, social and economic issues of the day.

The Supreme Court Justices of our nation consult with our Constitution in order to correctly "interpret" the laws of the land. I presume the Court does so with an eye toward the "original intent" of the framers of that Constitution in regard to the definition and purpose of justice.
The Court's disgraceful ruling on the constitutionality of the ban Congress valiantly attempted to place on animated child pornography (Pedophilia), reminded me of that "original intent" contained in the words of our second President - John Adams: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." Whether it's Roe vs Wade, prayer in school, burning the American flag, or child pornography, I fear any regard for "original intent" has been long since abandoned!
To the Founding Fathers, there was no freedom outside the bounds of morality. Any "freedom of expression" outside those bounds was not liberty but rather "license". The "rule of law", according to "original intent" was (and should still be) to preserve liberty WITHOUT compromising or sacrificing morality! The "rule of law" prevents us from taking liberties with our liberty (license).
There are monsters preying on our children (those fortunate enough to escape the womb). Justices of the Supreme Court, in your latest ruling, you are now providing them (monsters) with the appetizers! "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off......." (Isaiah 59:14)
