    idk man it was pretty explicit, considering the fact that the second it was removed, legislation went into place in order to ban it on a state level. Seems pretty explicit to me.

      Wdym? The SCOTUS ruling was explicit, the constitution never mentioned it though.

        yeah, idk if you noticed, but generally, theres this pretty cool thing about the US government where its really fucking bloated, and so anything can come from anywhere. It’s not like amendments are set in stone either. I mean slavery would be a thing still otherwise, and women wouldn’t have rights.

          Yeah no but amendments have to be explicitly changed.

                yup. What makes you think any part of the constitution is any different? Shit wasn’t written by god and this isnt the catholic church.

                  Because once the state ignores the law binding it, the people might as well too. The bill of rights is the protections of the people.

                    well see thats the thing, you don’t ignore it, you just make it not apply anymore.
