Thank you for finally including the last two words. Yes it was abolished via an amendment to the Constitution. Yes some of the signers were slave owners. So in light of that, let's turn a blind eye when our previous and current administration side steps it at every turn.

I guess that's were the polarization comes from. Some still believe in the Constitution and where our rights originate, and some believe it's an old document no longer relevant to current society. That would be Obama and yes previous administrations as well.

Apparently these days our rights come from government and not our creator.
