She’s clearly losing her faculties. Throughout her career, she has “imagined” all sorts of constitutional protections that don’t exist, and “imagined” all manner of reasons that clear constitutional provisions and precedents don’t apply in cases brought before the USSC.
To admit now that she can’t imagine the USA under a Trump presidency tells me she’s lost the battle with father time.
The creation of a whole new array of "rights" not found in the Constitution was deliberate, and diabolical. The rights found in body of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were not created by those documents, they came from God as our Creator. The Founders knew this.
But starting in the 1960s, the Court decided to create a whole new set of rights under the doctrine of Substantive Due Process. The creation of these rights was inherently subjective by the Courts. The creation of these rights accomplished two things. One was that it made the government the grantor of rights. The other is that the labyrinth of rights were inherently in conflict with each other, and the government through the Judicial Branch became the arbiter of those rights.
Thus, the Government assumed the role of the maker of rights, and at the same time assumed the authority to take them away. Such rights are no longer rights, but licenses, like a fishing license.
It is consistent with everything about the socialist system; everything is owned by and provided by the government, but not in unlimited quantity. Instead of allocating the limited resources economically, the allocation is now rationed on a political basis. Your energy, food, housing, education and employment are all rationed. And so is your liberty. You get as much as the government thinks you need, or simply wants to let you have.
