Yes, one was incorrectly made a right.  I'll reiterate, I'd back and support any effort to codify Roe into law, but the previous SCOTUS ruling was based on some very shaky reasoning.



No, it existed only because a previous SCOTUS had said so.  Like the other 200 plus times before it the current SCOTUS reversed that previous ruling.


I certainly hope not, but even if this was the case it would, like abortion, fall back on the individual states.  All of this can be prevented by passing legislation codifying it into law, all of which I would support.  We've all, but especially the left, grown to accustomed to allowing the judicial branch to effectively write legislation.  This should be a very rare occurrence.

As for same sex marriage, it's a much harder constitutional sell to override that, IMO, a virtually impossible one.  Marriage has so many civil benefits that denying it to same sex couples violates the equal protection clause.  I will say that my uncle, the one who was a judge and federal prosecutor, agrees with you though.

"Virtually impossible" just happened with Roe v Wade because the current SCOTUS based it on their own religious/political interepatation.

"Originalist" and all that...lol.
