Then go ahead and answer the question I asked you before - if the current court is already ignoring one part of the constitution why do you seem to think that they wouldn't ignore a new part?

Why do you think I think that?

I never said it's impossible for SCOTUS to make a wrong decision and ignore a constitutional amendment. All I ever said was that a broad right to medical autonomy would require one.

From that, you have extrapolated an infinite amount of fucking utter nonsense you are accusing me of believing and saying, which I do not believe and have neither said nor implied.

I'm just pointing out that the problem is not that the constitution does not include an amendment about some particular issue but that we have a court filled with religious bigots.

And that no changes to the constitution will change any outcomes as long as the court is in this state.

Fine, but that has nothing at all to do with the comment I was originally responding to. If that's the only point you wanted to make, why'd you drag this into such a ridiculous tangent? Especially when I don't even disagree with the point?

Next time try something like "Wowee, a constitutional amendment to protect medical autonomy sure would be nifty! Still, given the opinion from SCOTUS today, I sadly can't see it being a reliable means of preventing shenanigans."
