@compoundsplural i mean, i don’t necessarily disagree with that! the issue for conservatives is they don’t believe in unenumerated rights — PolitiTweet.org

(One last observation is that there’s something odd about an interpretation that holds out a right to insurrection, since at the time it would have applied to the federal government but not the states, even though its author agreed the states were more dangerous to liberty.) — PolitiTweet.org

@Rationaliber let me ask you this. the bill of rights is not incorporated with the states until 1868. would the states then have had the right to deprive its residents of their right to bear arms? why wouldn’t the right to insurrection not apply to state governments? — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Anyway, like I said earlier, I think you can very easily treat the individual right to bear arms as an unenumerated right. And in any case the Court has said that it extends out of the 2nd. I just think “The 2nd Amendment is a guarantee of the right of insurrection” is wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

@Rationaliber “militias will be a bulwark” is a different thing that essentially encoding a right to insurrection into the constitution. i just don’t think there’s any plausible reading of the circumstances of that period that supports that assertion — PolitiTweet.org

Second, I think you should read that quote from Federalist no. 46 as the equivalent of Madison sneering at concerns over federal tyranny! Essentially he’s say “Your fear is ridiculous and even if it were somehow to happen state militias still exist.” — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Two things. First, the Constitution empowers the federal government to call out the militia to suppress internal rebellions and insurrections. This is difficult to square with a “the 2nd exists to protect from federal tyranny reading.” — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

“we have the bill of rights because we needed the bill of rights” is tautological! i’m asking a question about the logic. how does “the 2nd amendment exists to protect the right to rebellion” square with the actual political context of the early republic? — PolitiTweet.org
