If the check is the political process ...Good point. If the check is the political process it's not a protected liberty, it's an unprotected liberty. Here's the analogy that comes to my mind. In 1980 we had the unquestioned right to smoke in courthouse hallways. Now we don't. That's fine because there is no protected right to smoke. If we have a right that can't stand up to most people disagreeing with how we use it, it's not much of a "right." It's not really a right at all.Philadelphia Catholic Outsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05437535947019285456noreply@blogger.com
