Reason Chimes In (http://www.chicagoguncase.com/2009/12/02/reason-chimes-in/)
Brian Doherty at Reason Online offers a look at some of the controversy (http://reason.com/archives/2009/12/02/killing-slaughterhouse) surrounding our “radical†desire to have the Court enforce the actual text of the Constitution as it was popularly understood by the people who ratified it.
Note that these dissenting voices are not really claiming that our position is wrong. They just aren’t very enthusiastic about protecting civil rights. It makes much more sense to debate what the Constitution means, than to debate whether it’s a good idea to follow it.
