[quote=Anonymous]If this has already been covered in the previous 71 pages, I apologize and please point me to the right page. I want to make sure that I am understanding what Alito's issue is. “The Supreme Court may only protect these rights, Alito says, if they are ‘deeply rooted’ in history because when they are not, they are "unenumerated rights." So Alito's claim is that the Supreme Court can only defend rights that existed in the 1700s?! That as a society we should not expect to grow beyond beliefs that are over 200 years old? I mean, I know that this is also what happens with the Second Amendment - we've developed guns that are far beyond the imaginations of our founding fathers but the argument is that a gun is a gun and therefore protected. But now issues like abortion and same-sex marriages, which was also referenced in the leaked document, are not to be protected rights because they weren't a major political or social issue in the 1700s?
