SCOTUS Violated Article V of the US Constitution, Not Once, But Three Times

Per the National Constitution Center “Article V of the Constitution says how the Constitution can be amended—that is, how provisions can be added to the text of the Constitution. The Constitution is not easy to amend: only twenty-seven amendments have been added to the Constitution since it was adopted.”

Arguably, SCOTUS violated Article V in Trump v. US by granting immunity to the President in doing so it makes holding the President accountable next to impossible.  SCOTUS tipped the scales resulting in an unequal power between the three branches of our government.

I believe SCOTUS violated Article V two other times with:

  1. DC v. Heller and
  2. Citizen United v. FEC

In DC v. Heller. SCOTUS re-wrote the lone sentence of the Second Amendment by lobbing of the prefatory clause, which materially altered the interpretation of it.

In Citizen United v. FEC, SCOTUS inferred First Amendment (1A) rights upon corporation, which arguably infringes upon a “person’s” 1A right.
