The intent of our four fathers is interpreted different ways these days. It doesn't make any of us right or wrong. I think the 2nd amendment applied to them but it has got out of hand in this day and time. Just my opinion just like yours is just an opinion.

Would you apply the same logic to any other parts of the Constitution?

Well, if we get to interpret anything we want into the Constitution (which is what liberals do), then you're merely ignoring the Constitution, giving your own personal opinion, and then saying "...the Constitution agrees with me, I am sure."

Sorry, but isn't that what Republicans do as well. Yeah they do.

Actually, no. That's why the "Republicans" (by which I more precisely mean "conservatives") do not "find" things in the Constitution. Only liberals do that.

BTW, you're referencing a doctrine that applies to torts.

Neither doctrine is limited to torts.

The Supreme Court's Absurd Results Doctrine also applies.

What is the case in most countries in the world? If a woman gives birth in Japan, Switzerland, Russia or Mexico, does the newborn become instantly a citizen? Why can't the US for once do the same?
