The Supreme Court’s rhetorical construction of home

After the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution, the justices of the Supreme Court began to construct denotative, connotative, and metaphorical notions of "home" that flow from the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments, and, most recently, the Eighth Amendment. This article examines the Supreme Court's rhetorical constructions of home to determine the current state of the citizen's dwelling place regarding freedom of expression, home protection, bodily privacy, eminent domain, and homelessness. In the process, the metaphors of a home-on-the-road and the body-as-home reemerge along with implications for legal stability and inclusivity.
