Do you have plans to try and hang the Supreme Court Justices who upheld
Sodomy laws in Bowers v Hardwick?
Violating the constitution is treason. Only state actors can violate the constitution. Maybe we can send them to Manzanera for re-education.
What about the significant minority of Americans who'd completely agree with Santorum's remarks?
I don't care if its a *majority*, the Constitution trumps democracy. Democracy is merely mob rule. Its merely the easiest govt to sell to the proles. Unfortunately it leads to looting and ignoring the Constitution when its enforcers are swayed by popinion.

Where'd you get that idea that private citizens can't violate the Constitution? Take a look at 18USC241, 242. Regardless, federal judges are certainly state actors, or at least they were when they committed treason and a change of status shouldn't make them immune to prosecution.

I'm well aware. I was only suggesting that there are many other people beside the not-so-distinguished Senator from Pennsylvania who are in desperate need of trial, rope, and tree. I'm confident that in a wide sampling of religiously-motivated fanatics in the U.S., Sen. Santorum would not rank even in the top thousand worst offenders. His comments, if anything, helped his opposition. I could hardly imagine the Supreme Court upholding the premise of Bowers v Hardwick this summer when they rule on the current case. Santorum's a harmless dinosaur. -- Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things.
