The Constitution says whatever 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices say it says.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I am. I personally think it is time to ammend the constitution to take away the power of the SCOTUS to spin the constitution to give rights never before recognized (or to take those that were).
Whenever the SCOTUS issues a “landmark” ruling, it should require “ratification” by the legislatures of the 3/4th of the States like any constitutional ammendment. The SCOTUS should not be able to ammend the COTUS from the bench...unless their ammending is ratified like any ammendment would require.
“The Lord is with me... whom shall I fear?”
