Gianna Miceli breaks down three Supreme Court rulings that protect your rights: Marbury v. Madison, which voids laws that contradict the Constitution; Bruen, which protects the right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home; and the Castle Doctrine, which lets you use force against intruders in your home without retreating.
Do you know any Supreme Court rulings that help you exercise your rights? Well, here's a couple of really cool ones. Marbury v. Madison, a law repugnant to the Constitution is void. The Bruen case, the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual's right to carry a handgun publicly for self-defense outside the home. The conclusion of the Bruen case is that any law written that doesn't align with the principles of the Constitution is not lawful and therefore void. And the third one that I love is the Castle Doctrine. It's a legal principle rooted in common law that allows individuals to use force, including deadly force, to defend themselves against an intruder in their home without a duty to retreat. It's based on the idea that a person's home is their castle, where they have a right to feel safe and protect themselves. When you know these cases, you know standing. Many people on social media are waiting for politicians to do for them what they won't even do for themselves.
