I don't mind you disagreeing with me, but I really do wish you would stop
putting words in my mouth. Your statement above is patently false. I haven't
labeled *anybody* as a criminal. I have only mentioned a single point in the
US Constitution that defines treason, and that was expressed conditionally,
I *did not* state a conclusion.

The judicial branch of the US Government was *never* intended to "reform the
government". The clearly stated purpose of the judicial branch is to
interpret and apply laws passed by Congress, and the Constitution, no more,
no less. It is unfortunate that activist judges have chosen to go way past
this, in essence bypassing congress altogether and creating their own law.
Now, instead of a large group of elected people who are responsible to the
people passing laws, you have a very small number of unelected people who
are not responsible to the people, creating their own laws. Bad, bad, bad!
Worse than bad. A serious breakdown of the way the government is supposed to
work, and bypassing the checks and balances the founding fathers built into
the system.

As far as not being able to get your agenda passed, we don't always get our
way. That's life, get used to it. :-)
