It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Originalist' Is


How Scalia Botched Heller and Let the Left Undermine the 2nd Amendment [More]

I've pointed that out before.

I've also repeatedly pointed out that we can expect no truly fundamental change unless there's a credible "or else" attached to a demand. And that until our major gun groups get serious about the real intent of the Second Amendment, the erosion will continue.

A commenter posts the best response:

“Were it not for the 'offending' paragraphs, Justice Kennedy would not have joined the opinion. So, Scalia had the option of writing a majority opinion or a dissent. He chose the former. You take what you can get.

“Now that there are more conservatives on the Court, the time may be ripe to revisit these questions and others (self-defense beyond one's house), but let's dispense with these so-called 'grievous errors' that Scalia made. He knew what he was doing.”
