  1. The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. What that right "is" is defined by the history and tradition at the time of the founding. Self-defense is its own common-law phenomenon, as is armed self-defense.
  2. The Second Amendment may be unique because it deals with a specific issue, but that doesn't mean that you can just pretend it does not exist, that it's vestigial, that it does not make sense in the modern era, etc.
  3. I don't find your argument very compelling. You say there are no other collective rights (which I think is a strong inference that there are no collective rights in the BoR at all, rather than the Second Amendment is an exception for some reason). I think you're just wishing the right away.
  4. agreed just saying you can still be a originalist and allow for technological advancement, as long as the principles are maintained
  5. What are the other collective rights in the Bill of Rights?
  6. As in, Antonin Scalia, if he was being intellectually honest, would have thought the Air Force was unconstitutional?
  7. So an originalist would say the First Amendment does not protect email, television, etc, because those modalities did not exist at the time of the founding?
  8. Agreed. It ignores the Ninth Amendment - "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
  9. I agree. I thought Cox had some health problems but maybe I misremember.
  10. He looks terrible. They need to film whatever they're going to film sooner rather than later.
  11. She didn't say it to turn him on. She said it to turn herself on because it degraded him and she wanted to humiliate him.
  12. Best part of the episode. I think he was just being an asshole to underscore how weird he thought Ken was acting.
  13. I’m a regular nose-breathing moron, thank you very much
  14. He lost me when he took no action to stop the rioting at the Capitol.
  15. No unless he's running against Hillary Clinton
  16. I thought I got flamed for voting for Trump. Voting for Trump is not the same thing as endorsing his behavior after the election.
  17. reminiscent of my favorite part of Life of Brian. "You're all individuals!" "Yes, we are all individuals!" "You're all different!" "Yes, we are all different!" "I'm not!"
  18. I seem to remember that happened after the election. I do not hold Trump blameless for what he did (nor do I hold many of the Republicans involved blameless). My biggest regret is that more of the rioters were not shot. You can't just storm the Capitol building.
  19. No not at all. Just like I didn't think some of the problems we were seeing under Trump were his fault, I don't think the majority of the problems we are seeing under Biden are his fault.
