"No one has ever described the Constitution as a marvel of clarity, and the Second Amendment is perhaps one of the worst drafted of all its provisions," noted Sanford Levinson of the University of Texas at Austin School of Law

Shall not be infringed is pretty clear. And this guy went to law school? Sheesh!

This bozo has the nerve to call himself a law professor? Students at UT Law, you deserve a refund. The Constitution has stood for over two hundred years. How many other Western democracies can say that they have been under the same governing document for that time? And contrary to Levinson's statement it is actually a marvel of clarity, when one discounts emanations from the penumbras!

He was also probably absent the day they taught diagramming in school, too. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" is a subordinate clause to the phrase, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Sheesh!
