    The whole point of the constitution is “to ensure domestic tranquility”, and “no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process…” but I guess we get to handwave that if the means of deprivation being legislated is a second order effect.

    They’re right though. BUT, your Constitution is supposed to be a living document, not the Bible (ironically the Bible has been…edited many times), so you should amend it.

    I mean, there isn’t one. The Biden administration has been the most active on climate change in American history, but the constitution is silent on the subject.

    There isn’t. It’s just that if you keep destabilizing the climate your practical right to keep your head and shoulders in the same place keeps deminishing

    There’s also no constitutional right for the internal temperature of the White House not to exceed 950°F, but the fires are on their way anyway.

    There’s also nothing in the constitution that says we can’t take firearms and kill the living shit out of the motherfuckers that run our offices when they make statements that go against the wellbeing of the US people, kinda similar to the one made here

      States have different constitutions than the federal government, so different things are constitutionally guaranteed.
