At a certain point it is just willful ignorance to not learn what it is the most evil chunks of our country wants to do and why. ——— Just rolling out of bed, anyway. Yes on second look this is old. I don’t think that takes away from my doomsaying ‘that’s the direction they’re going’, first abortion then the gays then racial hierarchy. These are the traditional values of America that we have stripped away.

Anywhoo here’s an article about it and Il make a follow up post https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2022/03/23/how-indiana-reacted-mike-brauns-comments-interracial-marriage/7138541001/

    This is absolutely where they are going with this. In case nobody knows, this is the line of cases That decided issues of interracial sex in marriage, sodomy, pornography, abortion, and eventually the right to homosexual marriage.

    Obviously, although it need not be said in the document itself because it’s so fucking obvious, it’s inconceivable to any rational person that a constitution which restricts the state from warrantless searches and seizures and be secure in our papers and affects, forbids quartering troops in our homes, protects our right to say what we think, and somehow it is allowed to make your family planning and sexual intimacy decisions. The Supreme Court decided all these things based on this concept, which is called Penumbral Reasoning, for those rights that arise not from the Constitution itself, but which is protected as falling within its penumbra.

    And guess what, there are conservative judges that are already clamoring that the Fourth Amendment only protects your property, meaning that if you rent your home or have a mortgage on it, or a lease on your automobile, you don’t have Fourth Amendment rights. They’re coming for them all.
