The Senate's number two Democrat said Sunday that if Judge John Roberts doesn't recognize that the Constitution's right to privacy covers the Roe vs Wade abortion decision, it would "disqualify" him from serving on the Supreme Court.

Liberals have perverted the Constitution by finding hidden meanings in the Constitution, as if they were ancient priests at the Oracle of Delphi looking for meaning in chicken entrails, and then claiming that such fanciful interpretations must never be challenged.

If there is an absolute "right to privacy" in the Constitution, then why can't I marry my sister.....or my brother for that matter?

If the liberals want a Constitutional right to abortion, then they need to ratify a Constitutional amendment that spells out such a right.

To have a Constitution whose meaning is determined by the interpretation of "penumbras" by Justices with overactive imaginations is the equivalent of living in a theocracy where the High Priests decree whatever law they please and then claim that "The Divine Chicken Entrails Have Spoken".

looking for meaning in chicken entrails,

They didn't need to. Instead they found "emanations" in the "penumbras" of existing rights.

Quite possibly, chicken guts would have been more reliable.
