The left has always - and I mean right back to the French Revolution - attempted to foist its own minority nostrums off as the "will of the people." And it has always moved to consolidate as much power into the hands of as few as possible. It is for this reason that it insists on settling such hot-button issues as abortion, gun control, taxation, land "reform," control of private property through environmental legislation and a host of others, through federal instead of state intervention, state instead of local. "One Ring To Rule Them All," so to speak. They're not really looking for new "penumbrae" here, they're looking to defend old ones.

Exactly! They are desperate to stand their ground, not advance.This presents the opportunity to push them back by reclaiming the courts.

I want to see them routed and in retreat.I strongly believe the president is up for it,I just hope his troops are.

(A little military lingo there,THIS IS WAR!) ;)

Some day libs will thank conservatives for helping them re-direct their efforts via the legislative process. The only reason Roe v Wade got through was because libs where the first to recognize that the judiciary was the weak link in the federal system - all that was required was 'interpretation'. They've become very lazy and complacent over the last 40 or so years since the judicial strategy was first implemented.

If Roe v Wade is eventually overturned (as it should be from a Constitutional perspective), it could actually work in their favor if they successfully utilized the issue to pass state-by-state initiatives.
