The Republic that our founding fathers established was based on the fact that our rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness were unalienable. Our government was established expressly to protect these rights. Our rights can not be voted away nor legislated away.
Many of our elected officials are grossly violating their oath to uphold the Constitution and they need to be stopped. Do you have a better suggestion than term limits?
How can we make people who ignore the law uphold the law?

I dunno. seems like it's been the norm lately to vote away people's rights.. like gay people's court given right to marriage.
Your argument doesn't hold any weight unless you're willing to address BOTH side's blunders in your premis for constitutionalism...
Seems righties like to scream foul when rights they uphold and respect are being challenged and looked at.. but are quick to get to the voting booth to stamp out other people's rights appropriated by the constitution and the courts of the land.
You can't have you cake and eat it too.. so which is it?
According to WND and a poll they had done there is no waty that Nasty Nancy can be defeated in San Francisco this November. Although her poll numbers are much smaller than either of the last two elections she still is a formidable foe.
America LOVES a winner. Nancy Pelosi is definitely a winner since she managed to pass Health Care reform.
Actually, America loves checks and balances. Checks and Balances will manage to put Nancy Pelosi back in her place come November. Libs better take advantage of the next 8 months, because that's where the tracks end for this runaway locomotive called Majority Rules Liberalism. Nancy Pelosi will be begging for forgiveness from her Repulican-controlled Senate counterparts. Funny how that works, eh?

I agree the NP can not be defeated. Anyone knowing much about the bay area would know this. As for the GOP regaining the house, I don't think tha will happen either but I do think they will close the gap in a big way. I am surprised to see you say the chances are slim as you were saying a few months ago, it was impossible.

Well I actually do think its pretty much impossible. In 2006 the Democrats picked up 31 seats in the House. They had huge leads in the Generic Ballot Congressional polls, and huge leads in the rating the party polls. If the GOP is going to have a major pickup similar to the 31 seats the Dems picked up in 06 (or even more than that like the 40 they need to take over the House) they need to start taking some pretty large leads in these polls. Not only do they not have large leads in these polls, for the most part they don't even have the leads in those polls outside of perhaps a poll here or there. Considering midterms typically go against the President's Party (exceptions 98 & 2002) I do expect them to pick up seats. However, when the Generic Ballot is Dem +2, Dem +4 or even GOP +3, they simply aren't going to pic up anywhere near enough.
