This court has regularly let state courts' rulings stand even if it thinks they have ruled unfairly or wrongfully -- even in capital punishment cases, even when the state courts ruled on federal law, not state law.
So you suddenly like state's rights? Great! There goes Brown v. Board of Education. Because the state courts in the South had already thoroughly settled that one.

From an earlier post of yours:
So the USSC invented a brand-new constitutional right under the Equal Protection Clause.
Which is PRECISELY what the court did in Roe v. Wade. The classic example of legislation from the bench: invent a right ("right to privacy") nowhere mentioned in the Constitution, then base a ruling on it.
There go abortions.

Oh. You only like judicial activism when it favors your side. But you're a disinterested observer just interpreting the law and defending the Constitution.

Hypocrite.

BTW, I'm pre-choice. That doesn't mean I can't see what happened in Roe v. Wade.
