Nothing has meaning except to an interpreter. Our difference on this may be so fundamental as to not be worth debating. Regardless of what you personally believe about the Constitution...its meaning is always an interpreted one. Even if I accepted that I would not accept the Supreme Courts interpretation as fundamentally more correct then mine. It has more power, but if there was a coup in the US their ideas would also have more power. In neither case does might make right. (right in this case meaning correct more then the usual usage in that phrase which would mean morally right). The supreme courts decision will be treated as if it is right, but that doesn't make it either objectively right, or subjectively right to me. Yes, they could; and they might some day. This is why Jefferson insisted you have the right to bear arms... Good point. Tim
