Moot article in light of the fact that the SCOTUS embodies the very definition of exegesis

to wit

1. Rowe v Wade as justification for homicide of the unwanted human souls, yet the killing of a wanted fetus in the womb by an assailant is considered murder.

2. using the interstate commerce clause to justify federal infringement into every element of society, specific example; the recent move by congress to impose fedaral control of the entire healthcare industry and force a mandatory tax to implement it.

This is like arguing how many angels can fit on the head of a pin, the supreme court does whatever it wants anyway, even if it defies the laws of logic and science, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks

The Scotus gets away with what it has these past 70 years because we the people, through our representatives have allowed it to.

There is a long train of philosophers from Cicero, to St. Thomas Aquinas, Blackstone, Locke and others who escape me at the moment that argued the existence of law above government. Governments get into trouble when they deny the people their Natural Rights. I think we are witnessing in our country a great awakening, a grass roots resistance to an out of control government and a rekindling of patriotism.

That our Constitution is much abused does not detract from what it is, the best ever governing document in history.
