But these are laws; now part of the organic fabric of the Constitution, and we ignore them at our peril.

This guy was paid to write? What in pluperfect hell is the "organic fabric" of the Constitution? Metcalf apparently believes that these laws are part of the Constitution now. On the contrary, the Constitution is the standard and measure of these laws, and they fail that standard and hence ought to be disregarded and then discarded.

I have little patience for this Alice-In-Wonderland wordplay. It is, after all, what has so eroded the Constitution even now that we tolerate Hate Speech laws, no-knock raids and asset forfeiture despite their blatantly obvious contravention of the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments respectively. Metcalf is seeing if they'll erode the Second. Time for some pushback. Hard.

Dewd! Like don’t you know the Constitution was written on hemp paper? It’s organic fabric, man!
