As I just said to a previous poster, WHEN do you think slavery would have been abolished if we had depended on the "Amendment Process" to get it done if not for the Civil War??

Slavery was NOT abolished by an activist court. It was abolished by the amendment process. The issue of slavery is about zero defense for the idea of an activist court, bringing it up now in defense of more recent activism is a non sequitur.
