Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut!

   The Supreme Court finally got one right, though it was way too close for comfort! Scalia, (the brain of the court), wrote the majority opinion affirming that the 2nd amendment  means  'the right of the people' when it says 'the right of the people'.  This is something that has baffled liberal minds for decades.  Justice Stevens, (the lower intestine of the court) wrote in his dissent that the majority "would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons", adding that such evidence "is nowhere to be found." Unless of course you actually look for it, in say the Federalist papers, or the constitutional debates, or the writings of Jefferson or Mason. Then you would see that the Framers were revolutionaries, who feared a strong government and believed that it must be kept in check by dividing powers among the branches and giving the people the ultimate power, the ability to overthrow that government if it became tyrannical. In the Declaration of Independence they specified this not only as a right but as a duty.
  Justice Stephen Breyer, (the terminal point of the digestive tract of the court) in a separate dissent said, "In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas." No, when they were writing the amendments, they were going to list that, along with every other conceivable variation of loaded/unloaded, handgun/rifle/shotgun, home/apartment/condo, crime-ridden/crime-free, urban/rural etc., but decided to save parchment and just say "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". Thankfully today, though by the slimmest possible margin, the court proved that they could actually read what was written.
