I was reading a law review last night on the 2nd Amendment at one of the law school sites. On line in particular really caught my attention.

"Rarely do we focus predominantly on the text, on original meaning, on tradition, on constitutional structure, on claims of changed circumstances, and on other forms of interpretive argument. 3 We know that in reality, to practicing lawyers, the Constitution is indeed what the Court says it is. And influenced by this reality, we mostly teach and critique the Court's pronouncements."

I found this particularly interesting in light of the fact of all the rants I see here on FR as to what the Constitution means.

I swear when I first saw this headline I thought it was a joke about the new format.

It only takes five strict constructionists to render a previous decision mute.
