1. I have said the same !!!! ---- but I add that with a CONGRESS that does nothing on so many issues (other than D bills started in the house and is now dead for two years) --- that leaves the court to decide things that YES congress should decide. When MASSIVE (major) and "unclear" --- then congress not SCOTUS should make it clear.
We agree there I think.
Where we disagree is that your position (as I interpret it) is that Agencies are Unelected Bureaucrats. I have the position that by now ---- with lifetime appointments -- the 9 judges are also Unelected Bureaucrats. One can argue which is better - but lets agree both are POOR substitutes for legislative answers were MASSIVE or MAJOR uncertainty as to original intent of a law exist. I will yield to every decision of SCOTUS - those I agree with and those I do not agree with --- that is patriotic. I do not yield that these 9 people have more knowledge on issues of magnitude that agencies face all the time -- and I lean to the expertise (R or D - right or left) of agency heads.
2. Abortion is different - planets away from WHAT did CONGRESS meant when they wrote - waterways. There the court looked to see if the constitution provided protection - for abortion rights. THIS court said no ----- and did so primarily on the basis of how Americans thought 200 plus years ago --- and IMO (not written) on the belief from their religion that life begins at conception --- which IMO was a consciour or maybe unconscious intrustion of THAT religion on others. I do know of 2 cases where people of non Catholic faith (to include some protestant groups) argue that to not put the woman and her life and her body first - until brith or some late date - is to deny the practice of their religion. These are heady issues - massive issues and the court is the place we put that job
