I think the US Court System needs a complete workover. The first thing that needs to be done is to replace most of the senile clowns that sit on the US Supreme Court with judges that are capable of making intellegent decisions. The citizens need to run off about half the judges we have and replace them with a vacancy. It seems there's a prerequisite that some judges do something stupid at least three times a week. I don't care if the prisons are over crowded, obey the law and you won't be in there in the first place. If Puerto Rico doesn't want to be a state, cut them loose. Everytime the UN or NATO goes into some third world country, the USA bears the brunt of the cost and supplies most of the troops and equipment. Illegal aliens get more help than our senior citizens, children, and the handicapped. Take care of our own first. We tore up countries in the 1900's that attacked or fought against us, then we rebuilt them, and now they thumb their noses at us. I'm retired military and I've been in places where they think the USA is obligated to support them. If the middle east wants to fight each other, let them, and we'll do business with the winners. There are people driving around with a half dozen DUI's, throw them in jail. As far as I'm concerned, drug and alcohol addictions are self induced problems, in most cases. Why should my tax money pay for their rehab ? See senior citizens, children and handicapped above again. OK, I'm off my soap box.
