You make my point for me. Slavery was ended by constitutional amendment (after a very nasty war--who said violence doesn't solve problems). Woman gained the right to vote by constitutional amendment. Jim Crow laws were abolished by public pressure on politicians to pass civil rights legislation. Our country was founded by flawed people living in a flawed culture, certainly by our standards today. The solution (for the most part) came from the people not through the courts. My point is the people must decide within the body politic how they will organize their society. If you want to put your faith in the courts, then I'll have to work harder to make sure we get some judges in there who will overturn Roe-vs-Wade. We average well over a million abortions a year. Nope, we won't vote on it, we'll impose that standard through the SCOTUS. We can define a million issues to separate us. Can we at least agree on one process for settling our differences (short of the historical norm--violence)?
