>>I heard that Bush's mention of the Dredd Scott case in the last debate was a codeword for Roe v. Wade. Actually it probably was. Roe v. Wade is the easiest to comprehend example of overweening judicial activism in our lifetimes. The founders never dreamed that any future Supreme Court would believe it had the right to decide, not just the legality of abortion, but when and how states could regulate abortions depending on the gestational stage of a fetus. Dred Scott was the easiest to comprehend example of overweening judicial activism in the 1860's. The Court ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, despite the fact that the constitutionality of the Missouri Compromise was not presented to the court in that case. One of the major causes of the Civil War.
