“Since well before 1787, liberty has been understood as freedom from government action, not entitlement to government benefits. The Framers created our Constitution to preserve that understanding of liberty. Yet the majority invokes our Constitution in the name of a ‘liberty’ that the Framers would not have recognized, to the detriment of the liberty they sought to protect.” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in his dissent in the SCOTUS decision on same-sex marriage.
