You gotta admit, it would have been somewhat awkward to have the Justice department acknowledging "shall not be infringed" means "shall not be infringed" at the same time the President was saying he would sign a bill extending the most significant federal infringement since the 1930s (other than the 1986 FOPA's last minute ban on newly manufactured machine guns for civilians perhaps)
True. Bush should realize that we put him back in office and that we value freedom over security. (or the illusion of security)
That is addressed by the cop-out at the end: "we do not address the scope of the right". Considering how many words were required to explain the two words "the people", it might be a while before they take on "shall not be infringed".
