DISSENT: “We the People” EXCLUDES All ILLEGAL INVADERS! #M1119

A 2-1 Second Amendment decision out of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has just concluded that “We The People,” as envisioned by the Founders in our US Constitution, includes ILLEGAL INVADERS of our nation. This conclusion was unnecessary to the central legal question in this case—whether the illegal in the case was properly found guilty of being in unlawful possession of firearms, consistent with a federal statute that makes it unlawful for illegals to have guns—and so the unnecessarily far-reaching conclusion that illegals fall within the scope of “we the people” seems likely intended purely to poison the well on far broader politically contentious issues, such as birthright citizenship. This suspicion is not lessened when one realizes that the two-judge majority that concluded illegals fall within the scope of “we the people” were both appointed by Obama. In contrast, the single dissent goes to great lengths to explain why “we the people” must necessary exclude those who have invaded our nation unlawfully—and that judge was appointed by Trump.
