Was this language, different in tone from the rest of the opinion and structured almost as a “by the way,” the price for Justice Kennedy’s vote? I can’t prove it, but I thought so at the time, and still do. Circumstantial proof lies in the court’s failure for the past decade to take up another Second Amendment case, despite Justice Thomas’s repeated charge that the court is turning the Second Amendment into a “constitutional orphan.” |

The SCOTUS should never, ever wander from a strict interpretation of the Constitution, based on text and history. No disappearing rights, no faux rights created from nothing - STRICT HISTORICAL TEXTUALISM.
Any justice who would should never be seated, EVER. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
