It is maddening the way these judges slice and dice and parse and whittle.
The question isn't how MUCH a law burdens a constitutionally protected right, but whether it burdens it AT ALL.
Constitutional protection doesn't amount to squat if legislators divine how much protection the government will allow, and courts collaborate in that subjugation of ironclad proscriptions.
Once and for all, there is no such thing as a "living constitution." The very concept is a diametric contradiction to the core of U.S. founding principles. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
