The real test of whether you're a constitutional conservative is holding to the principles even when you disagree.
For example, I think abortion should be legal (although restricted, but I don't want to take that tangent away from the point). But I also think Roe v. Wade was an unconstitutional intrusion into the sovereignty of the states. I know this would result in abortion being illegal in many states, but I don't care, as that individual issue is subordinate to constitutional principles.
Well said.
I am troubled by assisted suicide, but that's a policy argument.
We have to stick to our principles on the Constitutional arguments.
I will have to read the decisions for myself.
Exactly. If a state wishes to make abortion legal, their choice, the same with medical marijuana, and this.
I don't like it, but it would be my choice to move to a state where my beliefs are the same, or else work to change the state I live in.
As it is right now, there is no difference between the states, we are all one big federal state.
