Right, better, I think you are splitting hairs.

The Democrats have been right for 100 years, based on social systems and social justices, with regard to history.

And you also said, as quoted below, that conservatives had valid legal arguments about Roe V Wade.

I don't think you have grasped the thesis of my point about the law being existential in nature.

That Roe V Wade was a dilemma and was NECESSARILY decided on it's ideology, not on the law.

And of course there was hocus pocus ( a fancy word for an existential decision :)>) , but it was no different than when the supreme court upheld slavery, women not having the vote, segregation, etc.

When culture over runs primitive laws, then the supreme court has to change its previous rulings and find new reasons to change the law, find new law-like it is simply the RIGHT thing to do, like free the slaves, end segregation and allow women to vote.

Slewonir:

<<Ever read and studied in depth Roe v. Wade? I support its conclusion, but there's plenty of room to suggest it is nothing more than judicial hocus-pocus. Conservatives have valid legal arguments to support their argument that it was wrongly decided, frankly. As well, they have valid legal arguments that the decision should be left to state legislatures. I think both positions are the weaker of the two arguments on the issues, but that doesn't mean they are "making determinations and then finding the law."

<,
I said you were naive and ignorant to claim that liberal judges get it "right," followed by a rhetorical question where the answer was 'conservative judges get it wrong.' Your word was "right," not "better" as you've now set this up. That's my opinion based on your original claim.
