    My ideology isn't brittle on this issue. My ideology may be incorrect, but it is logically consistent, firmly held and tempered coldly. I am suggesting that you do not have an ideology on this issue. You have a fluid passivity on this issue. It is squishy. You don't care enough to attack it and don't care enough to defend it. I guess if you feel that dispassionately about a topic this makes sense, but this is a pretty heady issue. Squishiness of this magnitude is traditionally reserved in my world for types of pizza's ordered, action movies watched, say yes to the dress, etc.

    Areas where my ideology is squishy are in labor relations, tax policy, immigration, etc. Bill of rights issues I normally go full bore (pun unintended, then liked, then not edited out because it became intended). Equality in law, freedom of religion, due process, lawful search and seizure, right to keep and bare arms, assembly, speech, powers not enumerated, etc. Not squishy on those, I want them expanded, flat out, at the expense of government power.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
