The Heller case.
If you haven’t heard by now, the US Supreme Court heard a case involving the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. Personally, I’m very relieved by this decision. Constitutional law “scholars” have been questioning this right for a while. Those scholars have speculated whether or not the right is solely for a militia or even recreational hunting. I think Justice Scalia did a great job with the opinion.
The fact that we have four disagreeing Justices who want to read something into the Second Amendment that is simply not there is scary. We cannot let liberal principles, such as reinterpreting the Constitution to fit today’s moral and political climate, take over this country. If we do, then the great country that our forefathers fought and died for will cease to exist.
Not only do we have to give special thanks to the five Justices who can read the actual words in the Second Amendment and understand what they mean, without conjuring up some mystical alternative meaning, but we also need to give thanks to George W. Bush. He had the wisdom to appoint Justices who can read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for what it is and not for what they want it to be. If this case had been decided a few years ago, it may have been very different.
