There is a very important qualifier right at the end of the amendment:

“...or those duly adjudged mentally infirm by a court of competent jurisdiction.”

This means a *judge* has to determine mental infirmity, not a bureaucrat, or some automatic provision in a bill, nor a psychiatrist or psychologist or counselor.

But I wonder if this might set up contention with the federal law that lets non-judges do this, like VA bureaucrats, not even doctors, deciding that hundreds of thousands of veterans should be denied their rights?
