It's not a mysery, we don't need psychics or time travellers to figure out what the founders meant. James Madison kept extensive notes on the Constitutional Convention. The intent behind the 2a is in there, as well as several earlier revisions of the final wording. All the modern court rulings are insane when you understand the founders' real intent.

Working in a hospital lab in a neighboring county to these cases. We all just had to bust out the malaria testing gear and do our annual training early.
This seems like as good a place to ask as any: how can I quickly find replies to my comments in threads? The equivalent of the reddit inbox, basically?
I read it ~20 years ago and I agree with the central premise, but I felt like it was still 80% faff. It's very much the musings of someone with a love for math and history. The core argument could have been made in a quarter of the space.
For me, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is the best Agatha Christie. Go in blind. For non-Poirot books, Crooked House and Murder at the Vicarage are also top shelf.
If you like Christie, I would also recommend Louise Penny. She's very stylistically and thematically similar. Still Life is a great mystery and also a nice window into a cute pastoral Canadian town.
For something off the wall, Leech by Hiron Ennis. A detective is dispatched to a snowbound manor house to investigate the death of his predecessor. However, the detective is a sentient parasitic leech hivemind and the killer he pursues is an alien fungus body snatcher.
Fuck the states. My state would not have let me marry my wife if the federal government didn't force them to. My brother is gay, he'd be doing hard labor in prison for that if my state had its way.
Fetal person hood is a red herring anyway. Should you be forced to donate blood to keep another person alive? What about organs? Is not giving your kidney to someone murder?

This is why legislating medica care is a bad idea.
When you legislate what is and what is not "elective" you tie doctors hands. Politicians are not medical professionals, and laws are rigid. When laws restricting abortions to emergency/ saving the mothers life are put in place, doctors have been forced to wait even when they knew that an emergency was inevitable. Women have died because the doctors had to wait until the legal department was satisfied that the mothers life was in danger.
