While corrupt and morally cowardly local DA's and PD's can arrange immunity from the law of man for their agents that commit crimes against citizens, they can do nothing to grant immunity from the laws of physics. Hence, the desire to repeal the law of survival instinct by denying the tools of that survival in the hopes that we become genetically incapable of even desiring to defend ourselves.

His explanation for why he supposedly is <i>not</i> a fair-weather federalist would be fine if he applied it with any consistency, but to do that, he'd have to concede that <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7185555/" rel="nofollow">Terri Schiavo activists</a> and a <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,50840,00.html" rel="nofollow">Congress that funds scientific research selectively</a> aren't really fair-weather federalist, either - for precisely the same reasons he claims not to be one himself.

Insty gets all law-professor on us and sets us straight.
