Look, as long as you don’t think states can legalize murder or that the federal government doesn’t have the power to step in if they do, I’m a happy guy.

Should the states be required to have a uniform age of consent? After all, if a few states defined the age of consent to be several years below the national average, that could arguably represent a legalization of rape.

What if the state did not prosecute certain murder cases, either de facto or as a matter of policy. If a state included abortion in its murder statutes, but failed to investigate or prosecute abortionists as a matter of policy, do you believe this would represent an unConstitutional violation of the right to life?
