First, judges do not interpret the constitution. They write it. If President Bush were to appoint judges who'd overturn Roe, President Giuliani would appoint judges who would reinstate it.

I do not accept Supreme Court judges as being infallible and there are many examples of decisions being overturned by later courts (especially in the area of copyright, originally an artist could record any sheet music to record and any radio station could play a record with no further payment; best govt. money can buy).

The right to same sex sodomy was recently established in spite of an earlier verdict. Roe v. Wade has little "permanency" even though "Roe" now stands in opposition to abortion.

Some see the "court" as others see the "pope". I am not Catholic and I do not bring up such matters as any sort of dig. I grew up going to Catholic schools and my dad is Catholic. Some certainly feel that there were periods when the "infallible" pope made some errors in judgment; whether that is the case or not is not the issue here. CERTAINLY the Supreme Court has made some bad calls over time. They are human, they are prone to error (the verdict is out on the pope). I am still Christian and would be the last to want to defend the politics of today's majority Presbyterian Church.
