It's a privilege of free men, not a right. What's the difference?
The number of pages of convuluted legal reasoning in the SCOTUS decisions to take away a right versus the number of pages in a SCOTUS decision taking away a privilege, from what I can see.

Indeed. It's a lot of mental masturbation. It's a way to separate a people from their constitution by interposing a bureaucratic class that retains the right to interpret the words of the Constitution for the people. Kind of like what organized religion sometimes does between the deity and the people.
