Things That Need To Change.

First off with the upcoming process of confirming Sonia Sotomayor as a supreme court justice I wish people would leave politics out of it. The supreme court of the United States is as high as it gets, not even the president can overturn one of their decisions. Politicians make the laws the supreme court is sworn to uphold or declare unconstitutional.

That fact alone should remove politics from the equation. Federal judges should have no party affiliation of any kind. The supreme court should not be used by political parties to reexamine decisions made by the court years ago. The biggest example being Roe vs. Wade. It has been decided by the highest court in the land. Leave it alone.

The electoral college also needs to go. We now have the technology to count every individual vote nationwide immediately. Without the electoral college system Bush would never have been president. Think how great it would be to have those 8 years back.......... It has happened two other times as well. There is no reason in the world that the man who gets the most votes should not be elected president. It is unacceptable, and when I am in charge it will change.

The separation of church and state needs to go as well. It's all smoke and mirrors anyway. Candidates profess their love for god and church, yet claim to want separation. They can't have it both ways. Our money says "In God We Trust" it's issued by the government. I also think every courtroom needs the 10 commandments hanging in it. Maybe a lot of those who have no respect for the law of man will think twice when it's pointed out which law of God they broke.

I also believe if all the politicians who profess their faith in God talked to him once in awhile they would not be so hasty in their decisions.

Nowhere in our constitution does it say we only have 2 political parties. We have many choices in party affiliation but only democrats and republicans are allowed to take part in debates, conventions, and most other political gatherings at election time. Why can't people see how wrong this is. If Ron Paul were able to reach more people I guarantee he would be president right now. I voted for Obama, and I support him. I did not vote for Ron Paul simply because with the amount of exposure he had not enough people knew about him, and he never stood a chance.

The biggest thing I want to change is that I want a 10 question quiz at the polls for everyone who shows up to vote. If you cannot answer basic questions about the candidates you will not be allowed to vote. An uninformed voter is far more dangerous to our country than someone who does not vote at all.
