Constitutional Rights Have Limits

[M14 Shooter]

Roe v Wade was a bad ruling. The Constitution does not even mention abortion.

Whatever eyou may think of Roe, it is settled law.

A Texas law which ignored it was upheld by the Supreme ct and a direct challenge to it is now before the court.

You contradict yourself.
If the USSC upheld the TX abortion ban, then it the TX abortion ban would not be now before the court.
Unless, I suppose, some appeals court overturned the ban and the state appealed to the USSC - in which case, the court would overturn the appeals court.
But that's not the case.

But it is a right, with limitations and responsibilities like any other right.

With limitations placed on government prohibiting the state from interfering in personal, private matters – such as whether to have a child or not.

And yet, you agree the TX abortion law is constitutional.

The guarrantee of freedom of religion does not cover human sacrifice or multiple wives or use of dangerous drugs.

The right to bear arms does not cover bombs or machine guns or flame throwers or artillery. Private citizens may not own fighter jets or missiles.

The right of free speech does not protect Perjury, Obstruction of justice, extortion, obscenity or liable or slander.

These limits set forth in statutes or case law.

Well you're wrong on every point. I can buy and legally possess anything other than a nuclear weapon, I just have to fill out the paperwork and pay the tax to do so.

Our right end only where they conflict with the rights of others, nothing in our constitution allows for any other position.

My owning firearms of any type and bearing them publicly does not infringe on anyone's rights.

My ownership of an M2 machinegun and shooting it off regularly on public or private ranges does not infringe on anyone's rights.

You are clueless boob and partisan hack.

I never understood the more than one wife thing.....I mean if you are manly enough and can support them and the multiple children on your own dime then go for it.

You can have as many wives as you want, but only one legally registered with the gov't at a time.

Polygamy was common in the ancient world, but not anymore. I suspect its a morals question.

Mostly it's a matter of transfer of titles and property.

And yet, you agree the TX abortion law is constitutional.

On what basis would you claim that it is not?

The time to decide is before you make a baby.

Just like the right to an abortion - it is neither unlimited or absolute, as set forth by Roe v Wade and the cases that followed.

There is no Constitutional right to have an abortion. There is a SCOTUS decision “finding” the right. And sure. It’s right there in invisible ink penumbra clauses.

You'll have to ask Clayton.

Whatever eyou may think of Roe, it is settled law.

So was Dred Scott for a while. Bad case decisions aren’t immune from reconsideration. Seriously. When looked at in that light, the proper question might be: “WTF does ‘settled law’ even mean?” A legal issue got raised. It got litigated and argued. A decision was rendered. I guess it means, “ok, that’s settled., now.”

But it really isn’t, necessarily. Just like those who oppose the Roe v. Wade decision are hopeful that it will get repudiated soon, so too any number of liberals want a SCOTUS decision they disagree with to be overturned (consider Citizens United, for example).

They couldn't find one no matter how far and wide they looked so they simply made it up.

If it were "settled law" the dem's wouldn't make overturning RvW every time a seat opens up.

That it is "settled law" mostly comes fro the lips of the left.

 

[Vastator]

Yeah, go for it. Just as long as she gets at least one that can cook-n-clean so the rest can go off hunting and what not.

Happiness is having a woman who cooks, who cleans, and who fucks like the devil. As long as none of them find out about the others.

Those penumbra clauses are tricky.

civilians can own tanks.

If the constitution was a recipe it would be a food you'll never get to eat. You might be able to make variations and similar tasting dishes or meals but you'll never get to have the real thing.

Thats what being American is like. You got this shit scrap of paper with a bunch of words on it but it doesn't really mean shit and doesn't really do anything for you. Thats the dream part of being American. That's why they call it the American dream. It's a fairy tale and it can't come true.

You fairies can keep on believin, but I'm gonna move on.

The Constitution doesn't mention lots of things which is the reason for the Ninth Amendment
