Here's an example. Same-sex marriage in DC? Yes, based on some nebulous penumbra of privacy or some other cockamamie approach one can read in Lawrence v. Texas, the 2003 Supreme Court decision that discovered the right to homosexual acts to be protected in the due process of the Fourteenth Amendment. They just made it up.
Incest? Masturbating in front of the Capitol in Concord? I hope not.
Now onto the "palladium of the Bill of Rights" (Justice Joseph Story's phrase), the Second Amendment. Concealed carry, now an acknowledged personal right, in DC? Absolutely not. And I thought that right was staring at me from the Bill of Rights all this time.
