I don't recall the Earl Warren court fulminating against judicial activism or against liberal interpretations of the Equal Protection Clause, as the current majority has.

This doesn't mean I don't have problems with Roe v. Wade, but you can't argue that the Warren Court sacrificed its own principles. Just principles that you think it ought to have had. The Warren Court followed its own principles.

For some reason its OK to "sacrifice" for demolib causes like abortion but not for anything conservatives might
favor. Not that that happened in Bush v. Gore but there certainly is precedent for your version of facts and I don't hear any liberal indignation over Roe v Wade.....

I am pro-choice. And yet if Roe v. Wade was not legislation from the bench, what was it? I have spent years looking throught the Constitution for a "right to privacy"; it's just not in any copy I can find.
