>Respecting natural rights did not create a crime wave.

Prove it. Examine how lower class criminals were treated before the 60s.

>The Great Society with its breakdown of welfare families and control of the educational system is the main culprit.

The crime wave started in the early 60s before welfare was a major factor. And yes Welfare made it worse.

>All of it unconstitutional, as is your contemptuous view of the natural rights of citizens.

If it was unconstitutional, why wasn’t it extend to the lower classes before the 60s by activist judges?

If judges are ruling in accordance with original meaning of the Constitution, then they are not activist judges.

If a judge strikes down an anti-Second Amendment law passed by a state, for example, it is not judicial activism. It is Originalism.

Perhaps you would care to list the constitutional rights that activist judges in the 1960s have extended to the lower classes which led to the crime wave.
