Civil Rights grow beyond courts
“In 1961, the Constitution allowed wiretapping, school prayer, and illegally-seized evidence to be admitted in court. Women could be thrown in jail for having abortions and could be excused from jury duty because of what was seen as their pivotal place in the American home. None of the Constitution’s wording has changed since then, but we’ve seen a big change in interpretation. It’s inevitable, and not necessarily a bad thing.” -Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson
