It is clear that you think SCOTUS never makes a mistake if they quote a past law or precedent. But apparently, you do not know or understand that SCOTUS makes mistakes that limit and even break the God-given rights of Americans: Dred Scott, Roe V. Wade, Plessy v. Ferguson, Wickard v. Filburn. All of these had laws and precedent, but in every single one of them, I believe that they illegally and unconstitutionally limit and BREAK the rights of American citizens.

I believe that the United States Government, even if your apparent messiahs (Scalia, Alito, and Thomas) agree with the government, does not have the right to limit my choices of self-defense against tyranny.

Again, I pray your acceptable chains rest lightly on your shoulders.

It is clear that SCOTUS can make a mistake, and that you are not v ery proficient at mind reading or reading comprehension.

When SCOTUS rules that abortion is a constitutional right, that is the law of the land until the Constitution is amended, or SCOTUS overturns that decision.

But apparently, you do not know or understand that SCOTUS makes mistakes that limit and even break the God-given rights of Americans: Dred Scott, Roe V. Wade, Plessy v. Ferguson, Wickard v. Filburn.

There are no rights recognized as God-given by the law. The right to own and traffic in slaves was recognized by the Constitution. The slave had no God-given right to go to the Supreme Court and demand his freedom because God said so.

Dred Scott was correctly decided. The decision in Scott was to find that the Court lack jurisdiction to hear the case, and to remand back to the Circuit court with instructions to dismiss for want of jurisdiction. Scott's claim of jurisdiction was diversity of state citizenship. As Scott was not a citizen of Missouri, his claim of jurisdiction failed. When commenting on what a court decision is, it helps to read it.

Whether Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided or not, prior to Dobbs the law of the land was that abortion was a constitutional right and state law was bound by that finding in Roe. It may shock you that Dobbs was not based on a finding that Roe violated God's law.

All of these had laws and precedent, but in every single one of them, I believe that they illegally and unconstitutionally limit and BREAK the rights of American citizens.

Whether you or I feel that a SCOTUS opinion was wronglyu decided does not change the legal effect of said decision. I thought Roe was wrongly decided, but I did not fantasize that my opinion negated the legal effect of Roe. Citing a SCOTUS opinion as law does not infer the opinion was correctly decided, but just that it is the current law.

Again, I pray your acceptable chains rest lightly on your shoulders.

I pray that you accept what the law is, reject fantasies, and that you gain the wisdom to know the difference.
