Amen to this

In Houston the voters are the real HEROes

gay "rights" and the socially liberal agenda in general advance because the courts do an end run around the people and impose them

Here's an idea:  An Article V convention can add recall and referendum to the ballot.  If something like "gay rights" gets implemented in the courts, it can be shot down, and the judges removed from office.

 Here's a thought:  If the Constitution and Bill of Rights are to survive, it must be defended by the people themselves.  The political class won't do it.  The political class is actually the enemy of the Constitution.  The Constitution was expressly written in order to restrain politicians.  That's why they don't like it.
