The ROOTS of those 3 branches are comprised of " WE THE PEOPLE......" who ORDAINED and ESTABLISHED those three branches of government.
The necessary right of citizenship enumerated, and SHIELDED against government infringement in Amendment Two to the U.S. Constitution - seems to have escaped Scheister Schumer's notice. On the other hand - he seems to be obsessed with consigning the 2A to the recycle bin.
I am being nagged by the thought that the season has arrived to clarify with a constitutional amendment that the 2A means precisely what it says.
That clarity being:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be
infringed." [AMENDED TO FURTHER ADD] :
"This right of the people to keep and bear arms encompasses any personal service
implement of arms that may be individually carried. This right exists within the jurisdictions of all
the several states, the federal district of Columbia known as Washington, and all territories
subject to unrestricted public travel, access, and commerce within the jurisdiction of these United States.
The free exercise of this right is subject only to reasonable restriction in
certain specific sensitive locations, where a substantial, and compelling government
public safety interest can be demonstrated. Upon completion of any sentence resulting
from conviction for a crime involving burglary, arson, violence, or threat of violence or institutionalization for mental health reasons
resulting in an act of violence this right shall be restored without any further requirement for affirmative action by the individual, or
any agency of government following a period of ten years during which a citizen's predilection towards
good behavior has been demonstrated by the aquisition of no additional violent criminal conviction, or further
institutionalization due to violent mental health instability. Upon completion of sentence resulting from conviction for a crime not
involving, burglary, arson, violence, or threat of violence or institutionalization for mental health reasons not presenting a threat of
violent behavior this right shall be fully restored immediately without any requirement for affirmative action by the
individual or any agency of government.

I recognize the inherent risk involved in opening the 2A up for political tampering, however given the current state of affairs in which the judicial branch presumes authority to amend the constitution - clarification of "shall not be infringed" would appear to be in order.
