Warren Burger once appeared on the cover of Parade magazine holding up a 1795 flintlock musket.
In the article Burger asserted that the Second Amendment applied only to those firearms in existence when the Constitution was ratified.
He said, “America, this is what you are allowed to own, period!!”
Using the same logic - the only government welfare permitted would be those programs already in existence prior to 1795 - namely none.
—yep—I remember that article—it contained about as much misinformation as could be packed in as many words—straight from the lips of Burger—
Warren Burger is described as a conservative in various references.
Yeah, right.
He was so conservative, he hated the Second Amendment and wanted it restricted to muskets. He was so conservative, he voted for forced busing for children to schools other than their natural neighborhood schools. He was so conservative, he voted for abortion. He was so conservative, he waited to retire at the right moment so Johnson could have his pick. for SCOTUS.
Warren Burger is the Barack Obama of the judicial world.
