Some major problems with Roe v. Wade is that regardless that the special-interest USSC majority found the right to have an abortion in the "wild card" 9th A., the Court scandalously failed to find the right of a man to be a father and also the rights of unborn children in the 9th Amendment.

In fact, regardless that the USSC decided that it had the license to use Jefferson's "wall of separation" from a mere, private letter to help define its scandalous interpretation of the establishment clause in the Everson opinion, the Court "overlooked" in Roe v. Wade that Jefferson had also written that "all men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence. After all, Jefferson could just as easily have written that all men are born equal. Instead, Jefferson evidently chose to reflect the beliefs of the signers of the DoI that God-given rights start from the moment of conception.

The bottom line is that the people need to wise up to the MAJOR problem of a Supreme Court that is putting special-interest agendas ahead of honest and reasonable interpretations of the Constitution. Bluntly put, the people need to quit sitting on their hands and petition lawmakers, judges and justices who are not upholding their oaths to defend the Constitution, demanding that they resign from their jobs.

If they are violating the Constitution, they need to be impeached. It's a tool that is used far too rarely. The laywers protect each other.
