[Truth]

Justice Brennan was Catholic, and said as a private individual he opposed abortion, and often when reading of some crime would think to himself "that b#&%@" ought to hang. However, he said, in his official duty as a judge, he had to balance the reach and power of the state against the rights of the individual as he interpreted the principles of the Constitution. This tension between personal belief and public function is interesting to me.

I would be interested in learning what constitution Brennan was reading when he "discovered" that the US Constitution allowed for federal control of abortion. I suspect he was an activist liberal who ignored the fact that, for 180 plus years, abortion was considered an issue reserved under the Tenth Amendment to each state.

You see, abortion was not illegal in all states prior to Roe v Wade. Roe (Norma McCorvey) could have gone to several other states, like California, to have her abortion. However, instead she got conned by a couple of anti-life liberal women lawyers and, with the support of NARAL, ACLU, NOW, and other such "funders", the assault on life moved forward.

It is interesting that, when the case reached the then liberal USSC, McCorvey was long forgotten and absent from any proceedings and that her baby was born and had been adopted.

Brennan was what one would call a "Cafeteria Catholic" just as is Sonja Sotomayor. He'll answer for that, not me.
