When Obama's campaign used Facebook in 2008, he was visionary. 'A groundswell of support' writes US News.[1] When right-wingers did the same thing, they are destroying democracy. When the election commision restricted the release of a documentary critical of Ms. Clinton, how many left-wingers cared? In my opinion, the national media has basically failed to ever properly address this issue fairly or honestly. Instead we have a sort of reverse-Fox news occurance (that is, left-wing half truths and misdirected outrage). Justice Ginsberg spent 3 decades eviserating the constitution, picking and choosing on a whim what laws to uphold. But a few justices have the gall to actually read the constitution at face value, and suddenly it's the end of America? I think the biggest problem we have is the unwillingness and inability to alter the constitution. The courts are correctly deciding based on the constitution. But because the constitution is so difficult to change, the courts decision is being over-weighed. Who sits on the court should be completely boring. Average people shouldn't care anymore than who heads the department of energy. But instead of fixing the constitution, the people are using the courts as a run-around. Noah mentions popular support, but the court has never worked on popular support (was Brown popular? I dont know, but it doesnt matter). You cannot get everyonento agree. But the best political fix is imo to make constitutional amendments much easier. This is in agreement with the late Justice Scalia. Of course, that would itself require an amendment.
