Have Supreme Court Decisions Helped or Hindered Our Nation?

            Supreme Court decisions have not helped, but hindered this nation. The Supreme Court’s job is to interpret the law, not to make laws. Only the Congress can do that. It says that in the first article of the Constitution! I have an example of a horrible Supreme Court decision.

            An example of a horrible Supreme Court decision is Roe v. Wade. A woman was pregnant, and wanted an abortion. At the time, abortions were considered a common law crime. When the state of Texas didn’t give her a legal abortion, a lawsuit was filed against the court of Texas. The case was eventually taken to the Supreme Court, where they deemed it a fundamental right under the U. S. Constitution. This is outrageous! The Supreme Court can not make laws. They had no authority to do that.
