[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyway question stands… can someone please restate the logic behind the conclusion that there are no fundamental rights at stake in this case?

I’ll wait.[/quote]

We had that discussion all day yesterday. It’s a stupid argument but Alito says there is no right to abortion because it wasn’t acknowledged as a right in most of history. Literally, not “deeply rooted in history.” He’s actually wrong about that. Somehow, he believes there can be no new or expanded recognition of rights that previously were denied. So since he says there is no right to abortion, he says states are allowed to do whatever they want to do to restrict abortion.  [/quote]

What is listed in the constitution as "fundamental rights" that are "deeply rooted in history" other than those listed in the bill of rights?  If other "rights" are not fundamental and not rooted in history then I guess we can just get rid of those too right? [/quote]

Certainly no fundamental right to homeschool or send your kids to private religious school. Framers never said anything at all about schooling, actually. States should be free to compel public school attendance like some European nations do. It would be good for kids, good for the country, and good for the schools. Bad for indoctrination and billionaires, of course. [/quote]
