Jeej gets it. PLUS... The vast majority of Americans are perfectly fine with slavery, as long as they can continue to get giant Chinese-made TVs at Walmart for $300.
I think you and GG are missing the fundamental question I was getting at.
Let's try a thought experiment.
Lets assume that despite prior SC rulings, abortion is not in fact covered by right to privacy.
Lets assume that the 13th amendment had never been passed.
Assuming this state as tabula rasa for our experiment.
Are these issues so fundamental that they need to be decided at the federal level (by law or amendment)?
Or should fundamental issues like these be left to the vagrancies of individual states?
I'm not telling you what the answer should be, I'm just tying to get a forthright, honest answer without deflection.
Basically, are the some issues so fundamental that they should to be decided at a federal level?
Or should everything such as slavery, abortion, civil rights always be decided at the state level?
