Foregoing litigation and waiting around for a legislature without any protections would have been much more dangerous. People were right to bring Onergefell, Roe, Brown, and a lot of other civil rights cases to the court and the court was right to rule on them the way they did. We just should have found a way to make the court less stupid about campaign finance so we could get a legislature that would finish what those cases started.
Roe v Wade “race”? Does that refer to the 49 years during which nobody did anything to enshrine that right? Slowest race I’ve ever seen.
That’s the danger of protecting rights only by judicial doctrine. It forestalls actual legislative attempts to create protections.
