... interpreting the arcane language of “the right to keep and bear arms” to guarantee a right to keep a working handgun in your home for self-defense. This despite ample historical evidence that a primary concern of the drafters of the Second Amendment was to quell Southern States’ concerns over federal control of the “well-regulated militia.”
Other less macho rights – the right to decide whether to have an abortion or to marry your same-sex partner – find little mention in the historical record. Scalia’s contempt for such modern notions as bodily integrity, self-determination, freedom of conscience, dignity, respect, or intimacy is echoed in the historical record against which he and his ilk would frame the Constitution. |

Geeeesh, will this cr@p never cease?
The second amendment guaranteed the rights of WE, THE PEOPLE.
And abortion and same sex marriage AREN'T MENTIONED AT ALL IN THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS.
The author is stuck in a fantasy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
