""[The Constitution] has its idiosyncrasies. Only 2 percent of the world's constitutions protect, as the Second Amendment does, a right to bear arms. (Its brothers in arms are Guatemala and Mexico.)" I guess we're all Mexicans and Guatemalans now, if a right to bear arms is seen by progressives as an "idiosyncrasy." It's exactly that idiosyncrasy that remains the primary bulwark against those who would kick the Constitution to the curb because, as Washington University professor David Law puts it, there are "newer, sexier and more powerful operating systems in the constitutional marketplace.""
