Senate.gov Invents Second Amendment Controversy

8:00am Tuesday, October 08, 2013
Perhaps we were too harsh on textbook publishers last week for botching the proper interpretation of the Second Amendment, as even those in charge of the official website of a body sworn to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" apparently can't be expected to get it right.
