What the NY Times really means is, “yo, some judge out there, just end this.”

That'll never work because the United States Constitution has very specific language on how to add Amendments--one that even Lefty judges won't touch.

No. Judges can/have/will (until slapped down by Congress...like THAT will happen) just keep creating rights out of whole cloth, decreeing based upon em upon ‘penumbras’ and ‘precedent’.

I can’t recall hearing about any case judged plainly upon the Constitution and the writing of the time. Hell, most don’t even use case law before the early 1900’s Socialist take-over.
