Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide

Cross my heart — this is exactly the point I made about three hours ago as Elaine and I were pulling into a Walgreen’s parking lot.

Their argument is that abortion isn’t a specifically identified right in the Constitution, while gun possession is. Of course, there’s no consensus over what the 2nd Amendment actually means. So, in that definitional void, the majority defines it however they damned well please, to the detriment of all of us.
It’s awful. My mindless representative in Congress just repeats “shall not be abridged,” with no consideration for the rest of the sentence, or what “arms” might denote, or what it means to “bear” them.
