It is an interesting interview, and I kind of see it both ways; however, government overriding The Constitution, is never a good idea, or proper solution to any problem.

However, it is clear to me, Ted is speaking for a person who is, or may be, the victim of a violent crime… and having the right to safeguard their own lives from someone who may be trying to take their lives, or the lives of a loved one.

Beyond that, Ted is 100% spot on! In case after case, these activist, or seriously misguided judges, allow sex-offenders etc. off with a slap on the wrist, or a light sentence; and these very same offenders become repeat offenders. I don’t know how our society has become so soft with hardened criminals, but we seriously need to reverse course; otherwise, we will never feel safe in our country, communities, or even our homes.

Judges need to practice jurisprudence, and not judicial activism!

It is so clear to me: in a roundabout way, Ted is describing the beauty of natural law; to which our founders created our Constitution. We are (for the most part) free people, who were intended to be governed by a limited government, with limited powers. And many of us share his frustrations with these so-called Progressives, who somehow feel, once they were “elected” into office, they can somehow circumvent our Constitution, and dictate to us, how to conduct all aspects of our life. You tell them Ted!… “Don’t Tread On Me”!
