Two outstanding historians, Holly Brewer and Laura Edwards, argue that "the regulation of violence—including gun violence and domestic violence—is part of the history and traditions of this nation" AND that the "history and traditions" test is flawed. washingtonmonthly.com/2024/06/23/t...

The A. C. L. U. needs to award Roberts a prize for forging new paths in the field of Judicial Activism. So much precedent tossed aside!

Brewer and Edwards are pretty much the best in the business, so do read what they have to say.

The SCOTUS history and tradition test is based on the historical method designed and popularized by Rudyard Kipling.

If we accept Thomas’ illogic that laws must adhere to the “history and traditions” of the founding, even though ours is a different era. Then he should still be considered 3/5 human and be imprisoned for violating interracial marriage laws. He is already a slave to the rich so I guess no foul there.

The insanity of trying to find a common history of that era when you had Boston merchants, Pennsylvania Quakers and Georgia backwoodsmen all to consider...is an effort to more or less ignore a central part of our constitutional mish-mash, the crazy diversity of the colonists.
