"Your own link makes note that selective incorporation doesn't apply to the bill of rights."
No, it doesn't. In fact, it clearly states the opposite noting that the 3rd, 7th, 9th and 10th amendments in the Bill of Rights have not been incorporated.
On that page you can even find a table noting when each amendment in the Bill of Rights was incorporated. It quite clearly tells you that the 2nd amendment was incorporated in 2010 in McDonald v. City of Chicago.
Nothing you said in this comment is correct.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoOh I agree, the table on your site says that. It's extremely wrong. Would have been much less obvious if they had selected the more important SCOTUS case just 2 years earlier. By pushing the agenda you implied with "2A against the states" you showed your cards to not care about the facts.
- gamblor956 8y agoThe table is correct. 100% correct. It's maintained by a law school, and is verified by a professor of Constitutional Law at least annually. As a lawyer, I trust the Cornell Legal Information Institute. I have used it in my practice.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoYou know how the CDC was banned from advocating gun control in 1996 because of the junk studies the Clinton admin pushed for in 1992 as justification for their upcoming gun control legislation? It came out of Harvard and Princeton. Almost all discredited, full data never released, one of the main "researches" still employed at Harvard. Bloomberg just gave Johns Hopkins and Yale money to "study" gun control (with outcomes predetermined). And a few years ago gave Harvard $350 MILLION to push the same agenda. You can take that garbage they push and eat it up, they're paying good money for exactly that. I wonder what the Joyce Foundation gives to Cornell every year?
- odonnellryan 8y agoWhat point are you trying to make? That Cornell law school is trying to be political here?

- gamblor956 8y agoThe LII is literally just an accessible form of the various federal codes, statutes, regulations, and certain administrative rulings. It can be verified against paper copies or against paid services like Westlaw and Nexis. The LII has been around for more than a decade. The LII is used by progressives, conservatives, libertarians, socialists, the current (Trump) administration and the former (Obama) administration, all with no complaints. It has been used by lawyers and judges on every side of the aisle. If there was any bias, it would have come out by now.
