"Despite there being absolutely no evidence to support this other than your beloved court cases. All the historical stuff from the Founders themselves says otherwise."

Just the opposite. The "historical stuff" says the BOR was added to extend "the ground of public confidence in the Government".

"THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution."
-- Preamble to the Bill of Rights

Now don't you feel silly.

Before you get to far into that, you'd better review what "declaratory and restrictive" means.

Of course, I know you won't. You'll just spin, obfuscate, and lie. Like you have always done on these threads.

Nice try, but Dead Corpse isn't about to let facts get in the way of his inventions.
