So a teenager is not considered mentally and emotionally developed enough to be culpable for killing a man, but a teenager IS mentally and emotionally developed enough to have an abortion?

Slavery would have been declared a constitutional right if Justice Kennedy was around in the 19th century. After all, the national trend going back to the founding fathers was to own slaves...

The problem is, SCOTUS is basically immune to public opinion. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing. We can protest at SCOTUS until we are blue in the face - but I doubt Sandra Day O'Connor would care.

Now, if governors told SCOTUS that their ruling was illegitimate and carried no influence on their state perogatives, now THAT would get the attention of SCOTUS.
