AMENDMENT XIII.

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.


I think this would be the perfect argument.

I 100% agree. Any other type of conviction can be overturned on irrefutable evidence - but if you're convicted of being a father, there is no such luck.

If all we needed to secure our rights was citing an Amendment to the Constitution, then there would be no gun control laws left on the books.

The courts are no longer honoring the Constitution. I thought that was clear for the past five decades.
