How can Congress define Constitutional baselines?

Look at how congress has imposed limitations to the Second Amendment……

They absolutely can redefine “Jurisdiction” and it’s interpretation in the 14th Amendment.

They didn't redefine the 2A, they just said there are limits on the 2A...which is bullshite, mind you, but it's not the same thing conceptually.

From Heller

There seems to us no doubt, on the basis of both text and history, that the Second Amendment conferred an individual right to keep and bear arms. Of course the right was not unlimited, just as the First Amendment’s right of free speech was not, see, e.g., United States v. Williams, 553 U. S. ___ (2008). Thus, we do not read the Second Amendment to protect the right of citizens to carry arms for any sort of confrontation, just as we do not read the First Amendment to protect the right of citizens to speak for any purpose. Before turning to limitations upon the individual right, however, we must determine whether the prefatory clause of the Second Amendment comports with our interpretation of the operative clause.

Now, if Congress tried to find some authority to regulate behaviors the 14A purportedly protects and made the same argument? It would be similar, but it would face certain scrutiny that would be hard to survive. That's a completely different action/analysis, though.

To compare the attempt for Congress to redefine the constitutional baseline of the 2A, you'd have to see them define "militia" or "security" or "arms" with legislation, which would mean Heller could be reversed by Congress with this simple trick.

Supreme Court just ruled you can deport illegals without due process

The legal determination that they are not here in accordance with our immigration law, and their subsequent deportation IS the process.

They can access the right to enter through the processes already afforded them. No need for taxpayer funds to go towards them staying here and gumming up the courts.
