"A liberal court is not written in the stars"

The problem isn't how the justices are selected and never has been the problem. The problem is that the justices liberal or conservative don't simply do their job properly which would be to go by what was written in the Constitution and only what is written in it, never ever trying to interpret what was intended or what the founding fathers would have wanted. I believe in abortion rights, but Roe v Wade was a bullshit ruling that pulled some imaginary right to privacy out of the Constitution that is not in it. If the people want and demand a right to privacy then it should be put into the Constitution by amendment not by a court of old farts making shit up. And there are ruling that go both left and right which are based on that same type of bullshit. The reality is you don't need to be legal scholar to read the fucking Constitution and understand what it says, maybe the idea justices wouldn't be lawyers at all and would just be random people picked from the population that could pass a reading comprehension test.
