“Not to quibble but Roe v. Wade was a 7-2 vote. Its hard to believe that 7 members of the Supreme Court could find an imaginary right to abortion and only 5 could find the obvious right to keep and bear arms.”

Wasn't that the Warren court? Or was Rehnquist the Chief Justice? In any event, it was a far more liberal court than today's.

Have you read the Roe v. Wade opinion? I read it in my business law class and thought it was totally illogical. I was really upset that seven adults agreed to it.

Assumptive Language is what we have got a severe disease of in today’s society. My husband and I are involved in “the truth project” (see Focus on the Family’s website for details), but boy has it really shown me how we have fallen down the slippery slope from the truth of reality. This is what 4 of our Supreme Court Justices suffer severely from and most of our senators and house members. Truth prevailed today! Yahoo...

I've read Roe. As bad as Roe v Wade was, Doe v Bolton was worse. It created the "health" exception....which can mean almost anything. Thank the Burger court. He was chief. Rehnquist was just an associate and wasn't chief until Reagan came in. Warren Burger was also the dunderhead who had that infamous "second amendment fraud" comments to parade magazine.
