In other words, the comparison is certainly not perfect, and this is not JUST a question of civil rights. That is why the federalism side of the argument is very attractive to many . . . because, unlike segregation, we just don't know enough to know who is right on this issue.

I'm not equating desegregation with abortion rights, and I never have (well, maybe that one time, but I was trying to nail a pro-choice activist. Even Slave would have gone my way on that).
I think that they are qualitatively different issues.
I was responding to Hello's diatribe on how courts have never actually done anything to benefit American society.
