Let me guess...the esteemed legal scholars all basically said that the constitution doesn't actually mean what it says.
Sorta', it meant what "they" said it meant. You know, the old tired red herring that the 2nd. Amendment only authorized a state to bear arms & etc. It was all trash. A civil rights pig put in a dress, lipstick applied, and then presented as sophisticated constitutional theory. I'd like to find a copy of the whole mess and post it on the internet for all to see. The resemblance to a Soviet style police state was chilling.
