Anthony Kennedy rumor
Well,
As Scalia (RIP) most certainly proved, any one of these people, perhaps Gorsuch excluded, could check out anytime as it is.
The entire Court could change over in the next 3-5 years. Vote in the mid-terms folks!

Everyone has his or her own personal ideology.

I think Cruz' ideology aligns pretty well with the sentiment in your sig.

Northwest Ordinance; July 13, 1787
Sec. 14, Art. 3

Quote:Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.

Which is why I like him so much.

Like Washington said in his Farewell Address in 1796:

Quote:Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?

Promote then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.

John Adams to Massachusetts Militia, 11 October 1798

Quote:We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition Revenge or Galantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other


I think this is a NECESSARY ideology. And I think that the result of decades since abandoning it is evidenced by the state of today's society/culture.
