RE:Whose Constitution Is It?
Just to get a basis of your historical knowledge you know that the power of judicial review is not in the constitution right? It is not necesarrily a bad thing but it started judges down a path of arrogance by John Marshall saying essentially saying someone has to interpret the constitution and we are the most qualified. That wouldnt be that bad of a statement if the case didnt involve James Madison who basically WROTE the constitution. The power of judicial review is actually necesarry but it is the "legislating from the bench that is a problem" BTW as to the law on the books if anything the law now would make abortion illegal if Roe vs Wade was not already in practice. Why you ask? A couple of years ago a bill was passed which made it possible for people who attacked a pregnant woman to be charmed with the homicide of the child if the child died or double homicide if both the mother and the child died. If the unborn is considered a person for the purpose of being murdered than abortion would be illegal too.
