The Supreme Court upheld Roe v. Wade. How's that work for your conservative philosophy?

This is a silly response. Roe was wrong not because it came from the Supreme Court, rather it was wrong because the Court didn't follow the Constitution, Natural Law, Common Law or any other authority or precedent to come to the decision. It simply invented law whole-cloth.

In regards warrants, Justice Thomas looked back to the history and traditions of the American people, cited to the Constitution and provided sound justification for his decision.

You might not like it, but 4th Amendment cases are markedly different than "substantive due process cases" because the 4th Amendment itself contains the word "unreasonable". Who gets to define unreasonable? You? Why? The Constitution says: "The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court..." It doesn't say "Tigerseye".

"Substantive due process" doesn't exist in the Constitution. The word "unreasonable" in the 4th Amendment does.

Nice try at masking the issue, but you failed.

If that convoluted straw-man works for Roe v. Wade then it works for every SCOTUS decision. Your brain is a failure.
