Just because a USSC decision was made doesn't make it "Constitutional."
It has been my understanding that, a major role for the USSC is to rule, when conflicts arise, as to just what IS Constitutional.
Over time, courts with "different" makeups might arrive at different decisions, covering the SAME words in the original document.
But there IS no higher decision making body than them. So for the time of each of their rulings, it IS Constitutional.
You (and another later court) may differ, but your different opinion does NOT carry the weight of their role for determining what is for the time, Constitutional.
That is our system. Not perfect. But better than any other.

So critics of Roe v Wade should just shut up?

I'm dropping it. I give up. If this weren't about marijuana but about something else, I suspect you would see the point. No reply needed.
