Dear Professor Lubert,
I enjoyed reading your article in The Hill about the Supreme Court and a suicide pact when it comes to the second amendment.
I confess that I am neither a lawyer, much less an expert on the constitution but what troubles me about “originalism”, is it is being applied selectively. If originalism is correct, then is not the Air Force an unconstitutional entity? It’s not mentioned anywhere in the constitution, is it? And then there is the fact that the wording of the second amendment starts out with “a well regulated militia”. So I’d ask those “originalists” why would the founders put those words first, unless it was with the intent that possession of arms required some sort of control? This has always bothered me, a pragmatic scientist accustomed to articulate accurate statements of fact. So, how can “originalists” ignore the obvious pitfalls of their selective arguments? Lastly, how could follow on amendments have been successfully implemented if only the original version of the constitution is the only valid interpretation?
Respectfully,
