Turns out all you need is a Supreme Court majority on your side and you can wipe your ass with the Constitution.

      Not really. Remember Wilhoit’s Law:

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      When they do it, its castle doctrine and qualified immunity and civil rights. When anyone else does it its terrorism. Your comment makes me think you haven’t fully digested the situation and still think the US is a nation of laws. If so, you are gravely mistaken.

        There’s no justice under the Robert’s court. There wasn’t any before the Robert’s court, but there isn’t any now either.
