Steven den Beste lays out the reason why Roe v. Wade was a bad idea - for both sides of the abortion issue. I don't agree with him about abortion or gay marriage, but he's absolutely right about the underlying mechanics of the Federal system. There's a link here to be made between judicial activism as a form of immediate gratification and the disillusionment of some folks over the way things have gone in Iraq.
