Ted,

The Sup. Ct. deals with issues that are controversial and beyond the scope of legislatures and the lower courts.

Yes, they are supposed to set precedent, but the Roe vs. Wade is unprecedented, and the precedent was not followed. Nobody uses Roe vs. Wade as a precedent setting case for anything privacy related.

Address what? Roe vs Wade? I thought we were talking about the right to privacy.

Yes. Rather than just privacy, we are discussing the fact that legislatures would need to prohibited from legislating on anything privacy related (as in Roe vs. Wade), which the article does not discuss.
