dk....how does the Article I, Sec 8 use of the term "militia" to "SUPPRESS INSURRECTION and repel invasion" conform with "well regulated" in the 2nd.
It seems to me, part of the role of the militia is to stop armed citizens from illegal acts (ie insurrection) in order to protect "the people" from such acts.

if rights are absolute.....how do you explain that the right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" is only subject to UNREASONABLE searches and seizures.....REASONABLE searches and seizures are ok.
IMO, it was not the intent of the framers to leave these rights to the whims of future legislatures, but rather to the interpretation of such vagueness to the judiciary.
