What I am saying is that in 1933 the courts were less activist and more prone to digging in their heels on the grounds of protecting both the letter and spirit of the constitution - in essence to err on the side of protecting the rights of the individual. I am sorry to say that I do not believe that the same case would, in 2015, yield the same result. The new mantra of the left leaning activist court is that the interests of the masses always outweigh those of the individual which was not the mindset of those who wrote and signed the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Perhaps I am simply more cynical than you are. It probably has something to do with watching the news while I ate my breakfast this morning listening to endless diatribes on how the government needs to disarm us and make sure that we can't use encryption software to send emails that they can't read. That kind of stuff makes me cranky. I was taught that though I may disagree with someone's opinion it is my obligation to die if necessary to defend their right to say it. Why? Because that and our other rights are sacred. Where did that mindset go?
Cranky guy signing off.....
