If the Court had simply struck down the Texas abortion law and allowed the Texas legislature to construct a new statute, then the country would not have been split. But the problem was that they also struck down the much more liberal Georgia law. This is a perfidious use of judicial review.

You could be right - you could be wrong.

That's why the selection of Supreme Court judges is so important, why the process is so political, why Scalia made his remark about "mini-plebiscite" - and why I interpret it to mean that the Constitution is a living document.
