David Ray all ready gave you some pretty good examples. There are also some pretty wacky things that have been done by state level judges including controling the spending of a school district and requiring it to put in things like swiming pools and other luxurious amenities. You and D.Ray still don't get it. The Court did not change the law; instead it said certain laws passed by either Congress or state legislatures were unConstitutional. In other words, the Constitution never permitted the laws in the first place, and so they should not have been created. <The court has invented whole new principles like a constitutional right to privacy and the idea that this means that states can not outlaw abortion. There is nothing in the constitution that even hints at this idea. The constitution doesn't mention abortion or even privacy. The closest it comes to that is when it forbids "unreasonable searches and seizures". Its a big streach to get from that to abortion. Yes, the Constitution more than hints at it. We have a right to privacy under the Constitution including getting abortions. To placate the supposed morality and religiosity of the right, those abortions can only take place during the first trimester but even that's a stretch. However, the right doesn't want to see this because it goes against their sense of how it should be. The right talks about individual rights but its all a scam. You really want to legislate everything that we can and can not do including when we go to the bathroom. Its time to get over the notion you can control everything. Your solution to crime which you can't control is to have a gun in every home in a vain attempt to control crime. Its absolutely crazy, and its why the right make such good dictators. ted
