Busted! Only partly true. I've been mulling your point over quite a bit actually, but haven't formulated a decent answer....and may not. Fact is, it was a long day which ended with grandkids coming for the weekend. And if I don't hit the hay pretty soon they'll be about two steps ahead of me all day tomorrow. Can' have that.
Whilst I chew on your question some, do me a favor? In 25 words or less;^) give me your take on Roe vs Wade. Morally, constitutionally(not in the sense of the scotus being final arbiter of all things legal, but in a more general sense), and as a practical matter. Good hunting; gotta finish off a couple short ones then, lights out.

I've gotta make this short, but some insights maybe? BTW, do you see O'Hare vs whoever as the genesis of this mess?
If, as the First Amendment clearly says, the Congress can make no laws about this, how in the world can the courts rule on issues there can be no laws about?
The light just came on regarding this; a BFO if you will(Blinding Flash of the Obvious). BTW, isn't there some precedent for this; as in the scotus struck down a lower court decision that got in the middle of a religious dispute of some sort? I'll retrace my tracks and try to find something in a day or two if you're not familiar with the case.
Gotta run, but hope to be able to check in tomorrow for updates.

Not any conservative who believes in the rule of law. Pryor did what he was bound to do, under the Constitution of the State of Alabama.Hey, Sinky!
Got anymore of that stuff you been smokin'?
