Remember, the Constitution generally limits the power of the government, not expands it. The 14th is one such example.

But this is NOT how the courts have interpreted the Constitution over the years.

Do you think you have the right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater?
Or how about to own a machine gun?

The Constitution as taken literally would suggest 'yes' and 'yes' but not very many left wingers would agree with either question.

How ironic that in this instance it's the left taking the Originalist position on the Constitution and the right taking the 'living document' side.
