Wow! How succinct. How direct.

How to undermine the gun-grabbers?

Linked below isa series of interviews with Supreme Court justices. I'm thoroughly enjoying them.

Justice Scalia:

"An originalist gives the text the meaning that it had when it was adopted. Which is what we usually do with statutes; but for some reason some people think we should not do that with the Constitutional text."

Click on the first part of his interview. Let it load, then move the slider to 10:25 to get the earlier context to the above quote. The quote itself begins about 12:02.
