I noted earlier that R Seditionist thoroughly presented the anti-federalist position with regard to the Second Amendment. It is not, however, comprehensive in the sense that it only selectively quotes from those anti-federalists that support that particular reading of the Constitution. I have not yet had the time to thoroughly read the Heller decision, so I cannot comment on the Court's reading, but I don't trust Justice Scalia to approach interpretation with anything other than a pre-conceived answer. That has always been his modus operandi. He is probably the most activist Justice on the Court, as Phil has previously noted.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
