"So you believe that the Supreme Court shouldn't have the power to legalize deviant behavior nationwide but should have the power to overturn state laws which no other court was able to find a problem with. Interesting."

There is no said right to deviant behavior in the Constitution, whereas there is a specific right to LIFE. I know in this day and age it is unreasonable to expect our court system to follow the Constitution, rather than their own PRECEDENCE.


"Really? And to think all these years I was living under the delusion that the Constitution was designed to limit the national government's powers. Matter of fact I just searched for the phrase 'right to life' in the Constitution and mysteriously was unable to find it. Not even in the Bill of Rights. So I take it you disagree with Justice Scalia then"


Ah the STANDARD is that rights endowed by the CREATOR which include LIFE no man/government can take.

This is the standard that distinguishes this nation from all others. Remove that acknowledgment and we are no different than any communists "we are gods" system of government.

As I stated and requested before. Provide chapter and verse in the Constitution that gives us this specific right to life. The Constitution is a limitation of national government powers and nothing else

Yes, endowed rights by our Creator, natural rights if you will. And these rights are not to be infringed upon. However, from the author of the Constitution and a conservative Supreme Court Justice, the understanding of protection and enforcement of these natural rights lies at the feet of the respective states and not the United States government.

There is nothing in the Constitution, as much as we may have liked, that would have given the national government power in this situation in Florida. Delay listened to a family hoping beyond hope, a few kooks (i.e. Alan Keyes), and religious groups that don't care for the limitations in the Constitution but rather how they may use the document to force their views on this nation of states as a whole. He should be removed from his leadership position on the basis of that alone
