"Originalism and Textualism" dooms the U.S. and each of us individually to constant social unrest as basic activities of personal life not specifically identified in the Constitution will lose constitutional protection going forward and

#DemVoice1 #BlueVoices 1/7
the activities will be lawful or criminalized with no uniformity based on a myriad of variable state laws

The social unrest will be "constant" because politicians will raise money, advocates for and against these activities will be demonstrating,

#DemVoice1 #BlueVoices 2/7

In his concurring opinion

#DemVoice1 #BlueVoices 1/10
in Dobbs Thomas wrote:

“In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell”

Griswold - contraceptives

Or, are you going to feel like a potential target in a mass shooting gallery with a 360-degree line of fire directed at you?

#DemVoice1 #BlueVoices 2/4
And if you are struck by the bullet of some other 2 Amendment advocate who wished to feel secure that evening, do you think that emergency responders are going to come to your aid as shots continue to be fired inside the venue?

I used to be proud the SCOTUS used its power to ensure federal and state governments controlled by political or religious zealots couldn't criminalize conduct of a personal nature unless the law was "Necessary to a Compelling State Interest"

#DemVoice1 #BlueVoices 1/12
In Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Court first held that from the "penumbra" of rights in the Constitution a "Right to Privacy" existed that precluded Connecticut from criminalizing a married couple's use of contraception

Over time, the Right to Privacy embraced the

I wish to share facts proving the GQP's FALSE narrative that Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan and infrastructure bill are causing inflation

with rising prices in energy, food, and housing

My statement that we DO [N]OT have an "economic problem known as inflation" was hyperbole, as "Inflation" by definition is a measure of rising costs of goods and services
