[Natural Law]

Your understanding of the role of the SCOTUS is flawed, but understandably so. Our federal system has its complexities and nuances. The SCOTUS only affirmed that a local law was constitutional, but it does not require it become law everywhere. It affirmed that the Connecticut law was constitutional, but does not require that the Utah law prohibiting this be scrapped. Should the voters of Connecticut choose to either directly change this law or elect representatives who change it the SCOTUS will not have power to act.

Actually -- isn't Roe. V. Wade ruling affecting ALL laws everywhere? I mean you don't see local laws trying to circumvent that successfully. Or is it written differently?
