guess you didn't bother to read what I wrote.

I read it, but I am not familiar with the argument. I must have been sleeping that day in con law. Next time I will be more circumspect about engaging someone in a conversation. That you were calling a Supreme Court Justice an idiot should have been ample warning for me to remain lurking and thus stay free of your self absorbed condescention.

The militias were all organizations by State, but you (and Marshall) say this has nothing to do with the States.

Funny, I thought I asked a question and did not make a statement of fact.

Regardless, thanks for you illuminated discussion. I understand the issue better now.

It could easily be argued that Ginsberg, Kennedy, and Souter are "idiots". Marshall was no idiot, but he was in the last year or two of life and may have been suffering mentally.
