That garbage is from the article. It shows how totally wrong the entire thesis is. The two Warrens (Warren Burger and Earl Warren) may have had an 'R' next to their names but both were extreme leftists.
The sign also applies to Warren Burger.

The politico “writer” is an a**.
Turn the matter around and focus not on gun rights but on a homosexual marriage and consider that that issue was won in the courts even before it was generally won among the populace because it was won in the faculty lounges and in the newsrooms. If culture trumps politics, politics and culture also trump constitutional adjudication.
We conservatives are in for a series of disappointments in the Supreme Court not just because our nominees fail us once they don the robes but because the culture in the court comes from a culture in the faculty lounges of our law schools and the editorial board of the New York Times. We do not win enough elections, having won elections we appoint the wrong justices, having appointed justices they succumb to the culture.
George Soros with his Open Society foundation and elsewhere attempts to impose his tyranny on us from the bottom up. Here is an application of that theory which we should consider and counter.

“That’s a beautiful post.”
I copied those quotations from someplace; here, perhaps.
I was so impressed by this man’s understanding of our Founding Fathers that it caused me to re-think whether it was really the best idea to stick to my current view of gun ownership. I decided it was not the best idea.
So I made the hard choice, but one that I think the Founders would respect, and one that I think many citizens like me - increasingly concerned with gun violence - are coming around to as well: I went ahead and clicked the Ebay “Buy Now” button for that Archangel stock I’ve been eyeing for my M-39 Mosin Nagant, and got four 10 rounds mags to go with it as well.
Thanks, Politico, for helping me decide to do the right thing. You can breathe easier now, knowing you swayed one man’s erroneously out-of-date opinion on gun ownership.

Play nice, but play hard.

The original intent of the Founders was to have a universal peoples militia instead of a large standing army.
I just finished me first AR build! I tried to feed a round and the bolt got stuck forward. Gave me the chance to mortar my gun! It was awesome.
I’m doing my part. Just purchased (last week) a low-miles S&W model 10 chambered in .38 special. I know the gun folks will say that’s an underpowered pop-gun, but damn the workmanship is nice. A work of art.
You are not mistaken. Read James Madison’s Federalist 46 and the
Second Amendment will become clear. Be patient.
My conclusion is that the 2nd A is not about militias having access
to weapons but, rather, armed private citizens having the ability
to establish militias.
They’re going to come on every front: epa, osha, patent office, irs, you name it. It’s going to be brutal. Stick to your guns, literally.
“The right of the people” - not “the right of the militia”.
“The right of the people” - the same people whose rights are protected by the First Amendment.
And the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eight, Ninth, and Tenth.
Ping.
The founders created the government with clearly limited authority. And then, just to be perfectly clear, they listed additional items, such as citizens ownership of arms, in which they specifically forbid government meddling.
