    Yes, while they studiously ignore the fact that Biden and Pelosi are also -- well supposedly anyway -- practicing Catholics.

    Elections have consequences. Win back the Senate and the choice is yours. But, we both know the Democrats will lose big in November. Who will vote for the party of "do what we say or we will riot and burn the place down". Since taxpayers paid for what they burn down, I doubt they will find many friends there. ANTIFA thugs might work in a gun controlled country where citizens are disarmed, but not here where there are 340 million guns in private hands.

    And which polls are you basing your assertion of where the people want the country to go? I’ll be happy to look at the methodology and show they oversampled Democrats.

    It’s funny, you didn’t have a problem with the tyranny of the minority when they took religion out of schools and instituted gay marriage. Both of which were extremely minority opinions at the time.

    But that was cool right? No problem with the tyranny of the minority there? I guess tyranny of the minority is only a problem when liberals don’t get their way?

    How about tearing down confederate monuments which was/is in opposition to the will of the people which CONSISTENTLY poll at 60+% to keep them standing. How about allowing homosexuals and transgenders to serve in the military and have their drugs paid for by the taxpayer? An extremely minority position.

    I guess that tyranny of the minority is fine right?

    the country isn’t. The system in fact makes it so the country is protected from a large population of libs in Cali

    The Senate represents states rights (2 per state) the house represents people's rights roughly 500,000 per rep so the math works out between Wyoming 1 house rep and california 53 house reps .

    What needs to be addressed is california has what 2.5 million illegals? So Wyoming has one house rep verses California 5 illegals house reps.

    What needs to be understand by some people is we have 50 states, the values are different, for examples California has no problem with guys in dresses in little girls bathrooms, in Oklahoma they do. In Washington state they frown upon coal and try to prevent coal producing states like Wyoming to sell it's goods overseas, one state with it's huge population can not and must not force it's will over smaller states.

    The court you cheer for will make the world safe for global coporations, Wall Street, big oil, and protect the swamp.

    That has been the record of the Robert’s court.

    Individual rights, not so much.

    They vote for people within the confines of their state, as we have a representative republic. Not mob rule...

    The constitution disagrees with you. But, of course, the people in those states do vote.

    Religion is still in schools and gay marriage causes no problems, so fail.

    “The problem” is irrelevant. It was wholly against the will of the majority who felt as though it was a problem. Which, according to your reasoning, makes it a problem simply because it was contrary to the will of the majority.

    We don't have a democracy. If you don't understand that, you probably shouldn't be casting votes at all...
