You’re exactly right. “The right to universal health care”. Liberals talk about it long enough and people start to think that right actually exists. And sooner or later some power hungry judge will decide to make a name for himself (the Linda Greenhouse effect) by declaring free health care a fundamental right. You know, it’s right there in a penumbra emanating from a combination of the liberty clause and the equal protection clause.
I don’t really think we’ll actually need for a judge to impose socialized medicine on us, because as fast as our country is tracking leftward our sheeple voters will vote it in without the “necessity” of a judicial fiat. The people still retain a little bit of common sense on something like simple biology (i.e., a man cannot mate with another man) so it takes raw government power to deliver same-sex “marriage”.
And for those people who think the court legalized same-sex “marriage” to expand freedom, I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for any of those four judges to come to the defense of anyone charged with hate speech for criticizing homosexuality. Or of a private group such as the Boy Scouts when they’re pressured by government to give up their freedom of association. Or of a Christian restaurant owner who refuses to seat two gay guys who come in wearing dresses and kissing one another. Or of a Christian photographer who won’t agree to film a same-sex “wedding”.
The court didn’t legalize same-sex “marriage” to advance freedom, but to use it as a battering ram against freedom.
powerful and so true
