Because I think slavery is asinine.

But I misinterpreted your intent.

I was wrong.

Sorry.

Being enslaved is not the worst thing I can imagine...which may say more about the content of my nightmares than anything. I think I'm probably more frightened by anarchy than slavery. Neither being a favored state, you understand.

This whole slavery debate, IMO, depends on many factors...

The size of the country with anarchy. The USA would crumble and would generally be a bad place to live if we had anarchy. But a small country like New Zealand would do pretty well...

It also depends on the level of slavery. 19th century slavery in the USA was a cake-walk compared to say, the Egyptian enslavement of Israelites.

... New Zealand would do pretty well in a state of anarchy?

So why overturn RvW?

Because it's bad law. Everyone agrees it's bad law. Even O'Connor. Even Ginsburg! You know why we still have Roe v. Wade? Because O'Connor, Kennedy, and Souter argued not that the ruling stating that abortion was a right was true and correct, but because the court had claimed it was (a limited right) 19 years prior. (Never mind that the law Roe addressed had been in place for more than 100 years). Precedent. Not right or wrong. O'Connor even said (and I'm paraphrasing from memory) that women now depended on it so they couldn't change it. Good argument, eh?
