You can feel free to read the dissent

SCOTUS is now a hard right-wing Federalist Society majority-Catholic court

with 3 or 4 of the Justices in the extremist Catholic sect Opus Dei.

So now, as I understand the Supreme Court, the government can arrest and jail you without Miranda rights, execute you even if your lawyer screws up, force you to have a baby, and use tax dollars to support religion.

But it can't protect your right to vote or keep you safe from guns.

sure i can read the dissent. i asked you.

do you can’t tell me why you think they made the wrong argument, you just know you’re supposed to side with the liberals.

The court has been liberal since Warren Burger was on it. elections have consequences.

the right to own guns is explicitly guaranteed. The right to kill your unborn baby was invented out of thin air by judges who thought it was their job to be activists.

Activists play a very important role. But they make terrible
judges. I guess you have no idea what the blindfold represents on every statue of lady justice in every courthouse in the country.

“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.”

Actually activist judges have now interpreted this to mean citizens, not militia and overturned a hundred year old state law.

Generations of Supreme Court and academic opinion held that the amendment did not confer on individuals a right “to keep and bear Arms” but, rather, referred only to the privileges belonging to state militias. This was not a controversial view. The late Chief Justice Warren E. Burger said, in 1991, that the idea that the Second Amendment conferred a right for individuals to bear arms was “a fraud on the American public.” Burger was no liberal, and his view simply reflected the overwhelming consensus on the issue at the time.

But hopefully you’ll get the results you wished for.

Over 20,000 civilians have been killed by gun violence in the US in 2022 so far.

Compare that with 4,662 verified civilian war deaths in Ukraine.
