Second Amendment as a teaching tool

Posted by David Hardy · 2 October 2010 10:25 AM

That's the title of a paper by a number of law profs .... illustrated here. Many of the major battles of Con Law are long past, and so its modern controversies tend to be, well, rather trifling and often only barely based on constitutional issues.

That's hardly true of the right to arms. When an issue can get Akhil Amar's dander up, you know it's a hot one!

Update: the law review article is here.

Are you missing a link to the paper?

"... modern political principals." ? (emphasis added)

One dislikes to be pedantic, but this is from a publication at Yale?

When a person obtains all his degrees from a single institution and then obtains a job at that same university, the inbreeding causes a stagnation in intellect.

Most of us in higher ed recognize that one should never earn degrees at a single university. A top notch university will not hire its own graduates until that graduate has worked elsewhere. It's all about expanding one's knowledge, wisdom, and capacity. After 30+ years, I have never met an exception.

If Amar doesn't grasp this concept, he's not as wellread as he thinks.

"It is an outrage that they should be commonly spoken of as Intellectuals...Their heads are no bigger than ordinary: it is the atrophy of the chest beneath that makes them seem so." C.S. Lewis, Abolition of Man
