Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
In our country, we have a founding document called a Constitution that was ratified by a consensus, and has the overwhelming authority granted by the consent of the governed. It may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the US House of Representatives AND a two-thirds vote of the Senate, then signed by the President, and THEN ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures. It is specifically designed to be monstrously difficult to grant and remove "rights".
Certain decisions of the Supreme Court in its history were bad law because they circumvented this process and became "legislating from the bench." This is not law which has the consent of the governed.
Rights must be granted and removed via the appropriate process. Otherwise SCOTUS giveth and SCOTUS taketh away.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
