"The Second Amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress." -- US Supreme Court, U.S. v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875), Presser v. State of Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886)

Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875), Presser v. State of Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886) As such, the same applies to any other Amendment within the Bill of Rights. And accordingly, the Supreme Court erred when it declared abortion a Constitutional Right.

Roscoe,
Boiling your citation down to its most basic tenet:
Usurpation of the Constitution by the States is, in fact, constituional??? I don't think so.
And - if it is so - well, in the words of Jailbird Congressman James Trafficant: "Beam me up, Scotty!"
