Ah, I see now that the elimination of unwanted human lives is something with which you are comfortable, providing the political persuasion of the victim justifies it. This doubtless has some bearing on our inability to see eye to eye on natural law, a concept spread far and wide in the founding generation (via Blackstone and many, many others), but sadly deficient in our own. You are welcome to your revisionism. I will keep to my primary sources.

Not at all. But I am perfectly okay with the elimination of would-be dictators and other thugs who use government to impose their own petty tyranny upon the rest of us. And I take comfort in the fact that most of the founding generation agrees with me on that.

I should also note the curious irony of your revisionist allegation, considering that I have cited nothing more than the founding generation’s own explicit statement against the incorporation doctrine. Of your “primary sources,” the few that are not heavily excerpted tangential platitudes of little bearing to this discussion are instead 20th century instances judicial activism masquerading as “constitutional law.” That alone speaks volumes of who the real revisionist is.
