Liberty and Federalism vs States Rights

populist — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:27:05 EDT

Getting Rights Wrong

populist — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:18:41 EDT

When early Americans spoke of self-defense, they didn't just have common criminals in mind. They were thinking of the would-be tyrants up the road. Defense against tyranny is always considered illegal -- by the tyrant. Had the first Americans lost, they would have been hanged as traitors. But they won. So we celebrate them today.

Without guns, bigger, stronger thugs would have an advantage over smaller, weaker victims. Women, especially, would suffer. In that world, the unseen would be the victims of fatal beatings and stabbings who would have remained alive had they possessed firearms with which to defend themselves.

The Heller Misdirection

populist — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:33:06 EDT

With an air of regal condescension, Scalia allows that the Second Amendment acknowledges and protects an individual right to armed self-defense. He then explicitly limits the extent to which that "right" can be exercised, thereby redefining it as a State-conferred privilege.

Justice Scalia wrote the majority opinion, and my initial assessment, at least, is that it's a masterpiece. It's a shame he squandered so much credibility with his awful, dishonest dissent in the habeas case earlier this month.
