This has to be Some Kind of Record

Reader Robert Gallagher, webmaster of 2ndWatch.org, sent out a blanket email a couple of days ago:

This is a little bit odd.
I went to the State Departments Bill of Rights website and every area of our enumerated rights were covered EXCEPT the 2nd Amendment.
In place of the essay was this statement:
(The accompanying essay is under review.)
The Website is:

That rang a fuzzy bell, so I dug through the archives and found this old post.

That essay has been “under review” since Professor Eugene Volokh spanked it severely back in March of 2004. Pushing three years now, and they still haven’t come up with a suitable essay?

D’you think they’d like some outside contributions?

UPDATE: Joe Huffman recommends that the State Department depend on this Justice Department memorandum opinion for its essay. I concur.
