It seems Alito is making the case that no one should have any rights that aren’t explicitly in the Constitution, which leaves (checks notes…) guns, and free speech, although the size of the audience for said speech should be commensurate to the amount of money (dark or otherwise) that the speaker has at his (and occasionally her) disposal.
@Weezimp The right for individuals to own guns is not in the constitution. The right for states to raise a militia is in the constitution. These are not the same thing. Know what else is not in the constitution? Tax exempt churches. It’s all about controlling #women and people of color. Fuck this shit!
@Nlyles True, and wasn’t it Scalia who wrote the opinion that the amendment does guarantee individual gun rights? Not in the original, but what the hey. But you’re right: it’s all white male snowflakes scared shitless of the rest of the country (and world).
@Weezimp I’m not sure, tbh, I’m not very good with the Constitution, but I’ll trust you. I do know how the NRA essentially lobbied and changed the interpretation to something that benefitted them 😜 I’m so angry I can’t see straight. Truly angry with the state of our country, no words.
