... 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 |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
