A Trump-appointed judge also said Americans have no “constitutional right to truthful information” during a public health crisis.
On Friday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit against the city of Jackson, Mississippi, which alleged the city knowingly let residents drink lead-contaminated water.
The lawsuit, first filed in 2022, says the contamination violated Jacksonians’ constitutional right to bodily integrity. Donald Trump-appointed judge Kurt Engelhardt disagreed. “The Constitution does not provide redress for every governmental wrongdoing,” Engelhardt said.
“Defendants’ actions allegedly deprived Plaintiffs of clean water and guileless information. These deprivations, while grievous, do not infringe upon any deeply rooted constitutional right.”
If clear drinking water was a human right in the US, then it would be covered by the Constitution as well.
If something was clearly, precisely defined in the constitution it would still be worthless if some group of rich cunts came to a consensus that it would be better for them if the courts were to interpret it differently.
The US legal system has a terminal case of corruption.

This chud only thinks rights exist if they’re written on piece paper by someone 250 years ago. 🫵😂
What a fucking loser.
