> Roe v. Wade “is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be.” That was the conclusion in the Yale Law Journal of pro-choice legal scholar John Hart Ely.
> Laurence Tribe — Harvard Law School. Lawyer for Al Gore in 2000. “One of the most curious things about Roe is that, behind its own verbal smokescreen, the substantive judgment on which it rests is nowhere to be found.”
Roe is the Lochner of liberal jurisprudence. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochner_v._New_York). It makes sense only under an extrapolation of the broadly libertarian small-government sentiment behind the Constitution that the left doesn’t believe in. (It was penned by a Nixon appointee, and was reaffirmed in Casey by five Republican appointees.)
