Marsha Blackburn mistook the Constitution for the Declaration of Independence

During the Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson — President Joe Biden's nominee to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court — Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has resorted to nonstop buffoonery while playing the culture war card. And the GOP senator was clearly pandering to far-right evangelical voters when, on March 23, she tweeted, "The Constitution grants us rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — not abortions."
But as Blackburn's critics are pointing out, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. It's in the Declaration of Independence.

... Constitutionally protected "right to privacy." Which would be covered the 14th amendment.

from the article
HuffPost's Ed Mazza notes, "Blackburn has something of a history of constitutional screw ups. Last year, she vowed: 'We will never rewrite the Constitution of the United States,' seemingly ignoring the 27 times it's been amended. Blackburn even co-sponsored resolutions in support of three potential amendments."
Hell, those mother fuckers blew off the U.S. Constitution in bush v Gore by making it illegal to count the votes
legally cast in Florida. One of the reasons why so many on the right and their rich supporters have worked to
pack the courts is because that way they can still keep power as the demographics will grind the GOP in the dust
..... as long as they allow fair voting.
