Despite the current left verses right debates regarding the Constitution, i admire the way our Founding Fathers set up our government. It seems that it has always been the Courts who have had the courage to stand up for what is right. I am far left, but I recognize the Constitution as an purposefully adaptable document. We established a creed that all men are created equal, and we have been trying to live up to that creed for years. Sometimes, living up to your creed takes courage. Allowing other people to participate in our American Dream is so threatening for some people. I see the Tea Baggers as a perfect example of those people who want to put the breaks on the Constitution. They don't want America to live out its creed too much. I am sure they will not like the Court's ruling that ruled the military's policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/
Even left leaning Barack Obama has yet to show the courage to challenge this obvious unconstitutional policy. However, the Courts have recently come down on the side of the individual victims of this archaic policy. I think they lead the way, and I hope the right leaning Supreme Court does not prove hypocritical and overturn this ruling. When will American have the courage to live out the true meaning of its creed? We have a long way to go Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but we are going in the right direction.
