Yeah, it’s those several thousand pages of legal reasoning, citations, quotations from other cases, etc. that make up the framework of constitutional law, that holds most people back from understanding what the hell is going on here. I include myself in the ingnorant crowd and I am suspect of anyone who thinks they have all the answers. Especially when they emerge after a summer course in Constiutional Law sponsored by some right wing religious “college.”
Unless you are some sort of ConLaw scholar, it’s really hard to have a good grasp on why the USSC makes the decisions that they do in this area. It’s way more complicated than the pundits would like the public to believe. I am a woman and I happen to think that the Court in Roe v. Wade got it mostly right, but maybe not entirely for the right reasons.
