Not a criticism of you, but the right will literally feel pure ecstasy if it is not being completely routed for just one moment.
Roe v Wade would never have been a problem if the system of judicial review had not been instantiated as the means for deciding constitutional matters to begin with. The Founders never intended SCOTUS to have that kind of power.
I can't say all the founders never intended that - since Marbury vs. Madison was decided when they were alive - but I agree. I would prefer inconsistent interpretation between the federal judicial districts, and in issues of constitutionality or federal-state overlap, the state's should have the final say. If the rest of the union thinks a state is grossly violating the Constitution, they should censure or kick them out. (we might have avoided civil war if expelling states was addressed in the Constitution)
