I remember a time when some board members here used to ramble on about judicial activism, and sticking to the text of the Constitution.

After the recent order from the Supreme Court, would these folks like to prate on a little more about these values? Or is the hypocrisy too much even for them to bear?
Roe V Wade was a extremely illogical ruling that invented new rights. There were other ways for SCOTUS to come to the same result 50 years ago and more correctly follow the Constitution: but they didn't. You can at the same time hold the position that people ought to be able to get an abortion and also agree that overturning Roe is correct because it was a bad ruling in the first place. Overturning Roe is actually the opposite of judicial activism (really) because it's getting rid of a ruling that was judicial activism in the first place
