144. Where's the original intent, Justice Scalia?
Those words about a "well-regulated militia" aren't just window-dressing, are they? And the right to keep and bear arms isn't absolute by the very wording of the amendment, but rather is not to be "infringed."

I guess divining original intent only counts for paper ballots and their inviolate right (trumping even the right of a citizen to have his or her vote counted) to equal treatment.
