Courts and justices do not write laws (though many attempt it and they are sometimes successful). They are limited to interpreting legal statutes.

Only Congress can make a law. Justices may decide whether a particular law is Constitutional. Row V Wade was not a law. It was a legal precedent. To refer to it - as the left did for many years - was more about marketing than it was an exercise in legal analysis. To label a SCOTUS decision as a "far-right" decision is also more about marketing than legal analysis.

I'd certainly concede the fact that most Americans favor access to abortion. I think most surveys I've seen regarding the question of "access to abortion" favor it by something like 60/40.

However, many legal scholars also point out flaws in the Roe decision. Thus when SCOTUS recently overturned Roe, they overturned what many would suggest was a flawed legal decision that conjured a Constitutional right that did not exist. Its also worth noting that, at least in terms of Federal law, nothing has really changed since Roe was overturned. The US constitution did not ban abortion before Roe, and abortion is not illegal under the US constitution following the recent SCOTUS decision.

Where is the constitutional right to own an AR-15?
Where does it say in the constitution that people can own guns for self defense? It's for an organized militia isn't it?
If you say "right to bear arms", why can't I own an RPG?

And you posted a long diatribe pretty much saying what I had claimed. I know what the three branches of our government are and what their responsibilities are, more than your stars like MTG and Tommy Tubeless.
