This 'law professor's' creds aren't worth the sheepskin they're printed on.
Legislative product, i.e. LAWS, are almost exclusively restrictions on liberty in one form or another. It is not now nor has it ever been in the legislative DNA to worry about protecting individual liberty - legislatures' natural bent is the expansion of government power. The Supreme Court exists precisely to rein in legislative excesses when they unconstitutionally burden fundamental rights and lower courts by rote defer to their acts as presumptively lawful.
Any law professor who doesn't know that (worse, refuses to accept it) should be bagging groceries instead. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S. Brown, Prohibition Fever, NationalReview.com |
