They just tortured logic in the past few days. They removed Roe because they decided that amendments that have been interpreted for decades to give people the right to privacy don't actually do that textually at the same time that they struck down a NY law because they claim that people have the right to defend themselves, which is nowhere to be found anywhere in the Constitution.
- djbebs 4y agoDid you miss the second amendment?
- judge2020 4y agoOnly District of Columbia v. Heller decided that the right to bear arms was independent of an official militia. No doubt such ruling could eventually be overturned by SCOTUS if they so choose.
- MisterBastahrd 4y agoNo. Here it is in its entirety: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Please point out the part of that amendment that references the right of people to have concealed carry for the purposes of self defense. Because it seems to me that they tried to be as obtuse and textualist as can possibly be with regards to Roe, but apparently the second amendment grants all sorts of rights that don't actually exist in the Constitution.
