Reply #37: Had I said something about 'absolute' then your point would be valid.

Since I never asserted that.. well, you get the point.

"others will follow it in ways that we never expected."

Slippery slope BS.

You don't think if we provide the example of how to subvert a constitutionally-protected right (DC v Heller) that the rethugs wouldn't use that same tactic to their advantage (Roe v Wade)??

Keep dreaming!

Here's a quote I happen to like..

Famed constitutional lawyer and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who defended O.J. Simpson and Claus von Bulow, is a former ACLU national board member who admits he "hates" guns and wants the Second Amendment repealed. Yet, says Dershowitz: "Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's too much of a safety hazard don't see the danger in the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use the same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like."
