Do you have any clue what this "horrifying bit of text" even reads?" It's saying that the courts cannot make rulings for OR AGAINST religion, sex, or marriage. It's providing the people rights, not taking them away.

Besides the fact that it clearly reads that if you understand legal speak, Ron Paul has repeatedly time and time again explained that's exactly what he's trying to do.

 

Leave it to Americans to get pissed at someone trying to help them.

The problem is, this opens things up to a tyranny of the majority. If the people in a particular area decide to enact a grossly unconstitutional law that they like and you challenge it but the judge is like most of the people in the area and doesn't give a fuck about that particular constitutional protection, you have nowhere else to go because you can't appeal it to a higher court.

Badgenome gets the "Sixth Grade US Law" Merit Badge! High fives!

Sadly enough, that badge is not being awarded nearly as frequently as it should be in this thread.
