Blog Seven- I Have a Bone to Pick with our Government.

        The structure of our national government is kind of like a Beanie Baby. It seemed great at one point in time, but is kind of useless today. It seems so odd to me that the higher up you get on the governments totem pole the more support you need from those who are lower on the totem pole.  It was a great idea at the beginning of this country to have so many individuals involved in the process of the duties of our National Government. I'm sure everyone felt that this structure would make it possible for everyone to have a say in huge political changes, but instead it has built a school of political cliques that constantly fight against each other instead of help each other.
       Another problem that I have with the National Government is that it fails to regulate laws set if it doesn't apply to what they see as more important, like wars or money. For example, on June 26th of 2015 same sex marriage was legalized by the Supreme Court. Sadly there have been a few incidents where judges have refused to marry same sex couples based off of their own beliefs. These Judges have broken a law that was stated by our Supreme Court, yet no real repercussions have happened. Instead of the judges who are breaking the law loosing there license or even going to jail, they are still in their same position. Although these people clearly went against a law that our government is supposed to enforce, no one seems to be in a hurry to deal with the situation.  Our national governments need to respect the opinions of States to me seems so pointless and unhelpful. Its like a parent saying these are the rules but letting the kids run all over them. I believe that if a decision is made for the better good and freedom of the American people then it should be followed and enforced through the whole country. To be more clear, the national government needs to "man up" when it comes to these issues.
