There's nothing civil about this war.
Harshing my mellow with this thread, you are.
The most powerful and harmful influence Trump has had on our politics…has been the effect on his opponents. They have been triggered into an orgy of self-mutilation—eager to amputate their own history and disfigure their own political traditions.
Exposure to the constitution should be one of the first things that happens in school. You wouldn’t believe the shoddy treatment it received when I was in law school. Not once did they address the second amendment.
Here’s a link to a Hillsdale College lecture, “Constitution 101”. I highly recommend it.

Here is a link to The Federalist Papers which I view as a companion to the Constitution. https://www.congress.gov/resources/d...eralist+Papers
I was just starting law school when Sanford Levinson's famous (?) piece The Embarrassing Second Amendment was published by the Yale Law Journal. I don't know if there would have been discussion of the Second Amendment - probably not - but I suspect that piece pretty much eliminated any chance. The only professor willing to talk about Sandy's arguments was the Federalist Society's faculty adviser, and he didn't teach Con Law.Originally Posted by Hieronymous
It can be found many places. One of them is here. The TL/DR is that a liberal law professor was grudgingly acknowledging that the Second Amendment might actually mean what it says (i.e., it might actually be an individual right).
That is radical stuff.
I guess I was lucky. It was treated relatively thoroughly in mine.
Thanks for sharing this. It was a great read.

I think part of the issue with the 2A in law school is that, for a survey Constitutional Law class, there simply isn't much material to teach. Of course, the Supreme Court taking very few post-Heller 2A classes is part of that. Outside of a symposium or something like that, I don't see it getting much treatment given the current state of the law.
If memory serves, we spent less than a single class period on it. For what it's worth, I also learned more about how self-defense works outside of law school than I did in it.
Let us not forget the document that started this wonderful experiment in self government.
