While this interpretation is absurd on its face, it’s worth remembering the Supreme Court was recently convinced the word “sex” actually means “gender identity,” and by extension the word “woman” actually means “anyone who wants to be a woman.” Once you’ve accepted the progressive claim that language can mean anything you want it to mean, the only limits to the Constitution are the limits to your creativity.
That is a frightening concept.
That’s the key to everything that’s happened in the last 60 years.
Linguistic gymnastics that exploit imprecision and ambiguity in language leads to out omes that are entirely arbitrary.
Griswold, Roe, Bolton, Plyler..goes on and on.
Easy to exploit a 2 century old document written without guides to context.
