How about the Terry Schiavo case? Will of the people was against the conservatives, yet they used BOTH the "representatives" in congress AND attempted to use the courts to deny a vegetable the right to die.
The right uses the courts to their convenience as well. Quote: |

What you mean to say is that you want a one-way wall. Where state is prohibited from interfering with the church, but the church is free to interfere with the state. Quote: |

The right has been FAR MORE AGGRESSIVE in curbing the freedom of speech of the left than the left has been actually committing violence in "free speech" name for these "peaceful protests".
