That isn't quite what the rabid "originalists" would have you believe.
Furthermore, one of the fiercest conservatives and originalists, and once
considered to be one of the top two or three Constitutional theorists in the
US (Robert Bork), said, for example, that the idea that the 2nd Amendment
described an individual right was "absurd." He also said, in effect, that
the 10th Amendment is a meaningless redundancy...but that the redundancy had
little to do with limitations upon the federal government. Surprise,
surprise.

Well thank you for pointing out that flaw in his thinking. 2nd Amendment, I didn't bother
to look up the 10th.

Btw, welcome back from your trip.
