Slate opinion piece on Justice Kavanaugh and his statements on the 2A. A quick read.
Slate concludes that Justice Kavanaugh is an idiot and a liar because of his [very correct] interpretation of the "weapons in common use" test identified in the Heller decision. Slate states the majority in Heller intended for the phrase "in common use" to mean "in common use at the time," meaning in the 18th century.
Here is verbatim from Justice Scalia, writing for the majority: "Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment. We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, 849 (1997), and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S. 27, 35–36 (2001), the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding."
Geezus fukc, you cocksucking fake news liars. Slate is definitely playing to its base, knowing their readership is too stupid to even know how to find an actual SCOTUS written opinion, much less having read one. Complete and total embarrassment.
