Second Amendment and Justice Stephen Breyer

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I know from Cato's super smart legal scholar--Ilya Shapiro--in this instructive nine-minute podcast that Justice Breyer's reasoning in his dissent of McDonald v. Chicago, which struck down Chicago's ban on guns, leaves a lot to be desired.

Mike W. continues that vein of thought with an emphatic smack-down of the former Harvard law professor whose family has owned a cabin on a lake in New Hampshire for three generations. I wonder where.

I'd like to add that Justice Sotomayer obviously lied in her sworn testimony when she stated that because of Heller it was settled matter, stare decisis, that the Second Amendment applied to the federal gubmit. But as soon as she could, she joined Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to make gun ownership unsettled by attempting to overturn Heller and declaring:

In sum, the Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense.
