- PhantomGremlin 5y agoThis can't be upvoted enough. Activists love it when judges stretch words far beyond their original intent. Same happened in Roe v. Wade, involving "due process". The majority found a meaning in words far beyond what was there previously. A dissenter said: To reach its result, the Court necessarily has had to find within the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment a right that was apparently completely unknown to the drafters of the Amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v_wade#Dissents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v_wade#Dissents
