Turns out all you need is a Supreme Court majority on your side and you can wipe your ass with the Constitution.

    Not really. Remember Wilhoit's Law:

    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

    When they do it, its castle doctrine and qualified immunity and civil rights. When anyone else does it its terrorism. Your comment makes me think you haven't fully digested the situation and still think the US is a nation of laws. If so, you are gravely mistaken.

    You misunderstand. People will enforce the Castle Doctrine long before this gets to SCOTUS.

    They already are, actually. I watched a video yesterday of a guy who said what he would do with his Second Amendment if ICE kicked in the door, and of course they ran away.

    This is what the bootlickers in this thread seem to be missing… the first time it happens, all the rest of the ICE cosplay pussies are going to think twice before they create the circumstances for it to happen again. Death doesn't care about what the court says a year later.

    Castle Doctrine the personal principle, yes. Castle doctrine the law that is upheld in court when unidentified masked men without a warrant bust into someone's home, get shot in the face and the courts respect the law as written even when it turns out after the fact it was ICE? Well, I'll believe it when I see it.
