Heller Quote of the Day

author Posted by:Sebastian on date Mar 18th, 2008 | filed Filed under: 2nd Amendment

From Professor Randy Barnett:

To shrink from enforcing a clear mandate of the Constitution — as, sadly, the Supreme Court has often done in the past — would create a new precedent that would be far more dangerous to liberty than any weapon in the hands of a citizen.

This case is about a lot more than guns.  If the federal courts are unwilling to give an honest reading of a very clear portion of the Bill of Rights that the majority of Americans and their elected representatives say means exactly what it says, then they can no longer be depended up for ensuring the United States remains a Constitutional Republic.  The meaning of the document will have been reduced to a fad, and we’ll all be the losers.
