Two hundred twenty-three years after it
was ratified, the Second and Tenth Amendments are all the rage. But the
First Amendment has been twisted largely beyond recognition by the
Roberts Court. A constitutional law professor took time out from
campaigning for president in 2008 to hand an anvil to the Fourth Amendment. And the Eighth Amendment was publicly disgraced
last week.
Still, it was a good idea. And in
fairness, no one has tried to quarter troops in my house as far as I
can remember.
Happy birthday to what's left of the
Bill of Rights.
