Back in the days when I was a voter, I recognized that I was part of "the government" too, because I could influence the course of what "the government" would and would not do.

I want "the government" to do whatever it feels is best. I want the Supreme Court to stop lying about the Constitution and saying that legislature are prohibited from banning abortion or significantly regulating it. If a legislature or the voters want to allow abortion, the Constituiton allows that. It also allows legislatures to regulate or ban. The Constitution allows legislatures to ban suicide, whether doctor-assisted or not. The Constitution allows legislatures to ban any medical procedure. I want the Supreme Court to stop lying to the American people about these things. And I want the people themselves to learn why the Supreme Court is lying and to start trusting "the government" more, because "the government" is us.

"What do I mean when I say that we first sought liberty? I sometimes wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there no constitution, no law, no court can save it. No constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will. It is not the liberty to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men know no check upon their liberty soon becomes a society in which liberty is the possession of only a savage few, as we have learned to our sorrow. And so what is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it, I can only tell you of my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women. ..."
