Glad we got to hear from these great folks including Judge Napolitano who I greatly admire.

I'm sorry there wasn't more distinction made between state and federal "government" and "government intervention" which I think creates confusion in the analysis and debate. Regulation and emergency activities regarding oil company issues and abortion are legitimately STATE issues and they are NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY LEGITIMATE FEDERAL issues.

The only way abortion is a Constitutional issue is the due process clause protection of life, liberty, and property in the Constitution. Instead SCOTUS, with no Constitutional authority to do so, has made abortion legal at the federal level. SCOTUS has made abortion a federal issue. The only answer to that is either nullification at the state level and/or a Constitutional amendment banning abortion (under due process if need be).
