That’s letting the question be decided by the sentiments of TODAY.
The constitution is a set of limitations on the government. It protects certain rights from majority democracy rule.
But you simply cannot find abortion in the Constitution.
If you don’t want to be limited by the Constitution, but you also don’t want to embrace democracy, but you also don’t want to be ruled by nine justices, or at least these nine justices…what do you want?
I am vaccinated. I have suggested on tv and on podcast that the risk/reward for adults without natural immunity, and certainly with comorbidities, leans towards vaccination. This even as the vax declines in effectiveness in stopping transmission because it effects severity. BUT…
That position is held with humility, not just because of the constantly changing science and data on a virus we’re still learning about, but because it never occurred to me to wield that position as some kind of moral superiority over other’s health decisions.
Peacocking over vax status or your fidelity to the “experts” is one thing. But encouraging the scapegoating an entire class of people (against science) who make a different health care decision than you is beyond the pale. Only surpassed in ugliness by forcing your medicine.
As we don’t yet know the shooter’s motivation, I’ll wait to make a larger point until the facts come out. Like we should do - and neglect to do - in every viral video that others have used to justify riots.
But...(thread),
And make no mistake, this is new and directly tied to, requiring your audience to agree with your protests, agree with your characterization of the country, and agree with your radical politics.
