Marriage equality, contraception, interracial marriage, even gun rights—these all connect back to the 14th Amendment.
“That’s not how the Constitution works. It’s not a recipe with lists of ingredients.”Amendment uses broad words. And the first thing we have to do as people who are interpreting, and when judges apply the law, is look at the words because that’s what’s the law. They’re sweeping words of the 14.
And the rights that are protected in that very broad concept of fundamental liberty include rights that we have seen protected by the Supreme Court, including the right to marry the person whom you love, protected inin the marriage equality cases, the right to decide, again, whether, when, and if to have a child, protected in the abortion cases, but also in the cases that protect against state restrictions on contraception.
