The founders were right about a lot of things, but they were dead wrong when they bought into Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Paper No. 78 prediction that the judiciary was the "least dangerous" branch of government.

Among their other glaring errors are the "general welfare" clause and the "necessary and proper" clause. Actually, the Federalists were wrong about a lot, but didn't have to live to see it.

Add to that the "equal protection" clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the "well-regulated militia" clause of the Second.
