Oh good grief. One party didn’t “lose its moral compass.” Chuck Schumer is just as likely to support a bad law as John Cornyn. And the facts support that time and time again. “Moral compass” is such a loaded term. Banning abortion could be seen as “moral” just as easily as passing stricter banking regulation. That’s the problem — morality has become so muddled as to have become a useless measure. To me, it’s immoral to want to take money from me and give it to some favored group. To others, it’s moral to take money from me and give it to some favored group. What we need is smaller, less intrusive government, then there is less opportunity to be bothered by the morality of laws — because there would be fewer of them and they would have a smaller scope.
