People need to realize that the Supreme Court may have made abortion "Constitutional" with Roe v. Wade thirty years ago, but that doesn't make abortion moral or right. The Supreme Court made segregation and, by default, racism legal with Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896; however, 58 years later, the Court came to it's senses and reversed this with Brown v. Board of Education (the fact that Brown has been used to introduce a host of other unconstitutional programs is irrelevant). Hopefully, in the near future, the left will be confronted with the reality that abortion is not and never should have been the "law of the land."
Today, liberals look back 100 years to the era of slavery and condemn what was then a legal though immoral practice. I wonder if people in the future will condemn this immoral time in American history when millions have died because a few judges unconstitutionally "tinkered" with our society.
It is NOT irrelevant, unfortunately. Each of the twisted bits of logic the courts use to expand their power for good can be used for bad--and they inevitably are.
The power of the courts should not have been used for anything but limiting government, and while Brown was the 'right' decision, it was not the smart one. The 1965 Civil Rights act was 'good' law, but its effect has been awful. Next time you think 'there oughta be a law,' remember, there probably is, and a judge 'interpreting' it is what f'ed things all up.
If there isn't a law, leave it alone, or try to get one passed, or move, instead of having a judge make one up.
