He may well be right here, but I honestly don't think George Will has any business bitching about anyone mocking the Constitution after he himself nitpicked the Heller decision the way he did. Had the Supreme Court interpreted the Second Amendment the way George Will thought they should have, local and state governments would have been free to mock the Constitution just like they're doing in Illinois. One could say the state of Illinois' draconian firearm laws still make a mockery of the Second Amendment. But he apparently thought that would have been just fine. What makes any one part of the Constitution any more sacrosanct than any other?
