Gov Paterson's "nice scandal." I think that was written before it came out today that he reportedly allegedly maybe used campaign funds for his no-tell motel get-togethers.
Re the Heller case discussed today, a commenter at the Chronicle of Higher Education blog says this:
The Bill of Rights, according to its preamble, adds “further declaratory and restrictive clauses” to the constitution, with the goal of preventing “misconstruction or abuse of … [government] powers.” By doing so, the first ten amendments extend “the ground of public confidence in the Government.” Amendments 1 and 3-10 do indeed restrict the government and empower the people. Thus, if the Second Amendment means merely that government can arm a militia — which would seem to be already permitted by the constitutional requirement to “provide for the common defence” — then it’s the only one of the first ten that gives rights to government, rather than to individuals.
