Then it seems to me the constitution is worthless, isnt it?
It is when the courts have a backbone like a jellyfish.

They are more like guidelines anyway.
You’re saying the Bill of Rights sucks because it’s not complete and total?
Im saying the Constitution is worthless if it doesnt obligate the government to keep its citizens alive. Clean drinking water is literally the most basic thing anyone can expect.
And what good is a Bill of Rights if the government can just ignore it?
“The Constitution does not provide redress for every governmental wrongdoing,”
ORLY?
I suppose it’s a question of interpretation
Say: “My potable water powered gun is empty!!!” SCOTUS: That is unforgivable
I could get on board with 2A if it only covered squirt guns.
But it provides AI generated CSAM apparently

Yeah, they didn’t put it in the constitution probably because they thought clean water is a given. I’m sure they thought “nobody will be stupid enough to have to be told this is a human right”.
They didn’t put it in because the Constitution was written in 1789. Indoor plumbing didn’t even exist yet. “Clean water” was an abstract concept.
Large reservoirs came like a century later
Water filtration existed in the 1700s. I think I read somewhere in europe had a patent for mechanical water filtration. So there was some concept of clean vs dirty water
Eh, not sure sure since they were drinking low % beer back then instead of water because it was safer.
They didn’t put clean drinking water in the Constitution, because it didn’t exist on a large scale yet.
And neither did industrial pollution
Makes me wonder why we even bother with burying radioactive waste.
Even as a non American it scares me the kind of present the courts of America are setting. Yeah it’s not my country, but there’s plenty of places that’ll look at America and follow their lead

That’s the Declaration of Independence my guy. None of that is in the Constitution.
About 2-3 days, depending on the season and temperature.
