A good few DNR boys went into hiding around there for a while..for their safety.

Sounds like "the good FBI agents" we keep hearing about...

Ah yes. The determination of what rights are Fundamental is a creation of Scotus itself. It has little to do with our history and everything with ensconcing social justice in the wrap of constitutionality.

Among scotus-determined fundamental rights are the franchise, abortion, fag marriage, and now this decision.

It is all nonsense because Scotus does not regard the right to life itself as fundamental.
