There is a clear distinction between granting rights and denying rights. The Supreme Court should not be actively denying rights to people, unless it is clearly called out in the Constitution or state law. This is not one of those examples.
And thus far this court has been fairly consistent in granting rights broadly. This ruling stands in that tradition, but this time in a direction ideologically opposed to the right.
- tptacek 11y agoThe Supreme Court generally doesn't deny rights. It takes things off the table from legislatures, or puts things on the table.
- humanrebar 11y agoThat's inconsistent with history. Off the top of my head, the Supreme Court ruled to deny rights in the Kelo and NFIB v. Sibelius cases.
