But at one point, the US Supreme Court ruled that it did. And it was that way for around 50 years.
And then another Supreme Court reversed it.
It all boils down to opinion. And activism is definitely something that influences the opinion of the Supreme Court.
Without activism, would slavery have never been abolished? Because slavery was upheld by the Supreme Court at one time.
My point is, that the US Constitution is something that can be interpreted 100 different ways by 100 different people.
Which is why we have the Supreme Court. Do they get everything right all the time? Of course not. Does that mean we should do away with it and let everyone just interpret the Constitution how they want? Of course not.
So until someone can figure out a solution to this dilemma, we will still have to go by how the US Supreme Court interprets the Constitution.
We can't just chuck the whole system whenever it fails us personally.
How so? What IS and IS NOT Constitutional is always up for debate
Which is how Roe vs Wade was reversed.
Roe had no constitutional foundation. It was activism. Activism that lasted 50 years.

If so, then at least 99 of them would be wrong.
That's pretty much my point here.
