LA Times and NPR don't understand Conservative's arguments in Supreme Court Chicago Handgun Ban Case

Not having a strong argument it appears as if liberals only have the argument that conservatives are supposedly being inconsistent.

CONAN: And isn't this you would think that some of the more conservative justices would say wait a minute, don't the states have rights here? States' rights? Haven't we heard that argument from people like Antonin Scalia?

Mr. SAVAGE: This is a game of musical chairs where everybody is reversed. The liberals talk about deferring to state and local governments. We don't want federal judges to make all these decisions. Shouldn't we let city...

CONAN: (unintelligible) localities know their own situations best.

Mr. SAVAGE: Correct. And the conservatives say wait a minute, the Constitution has individual rights, and it doesn't matter what state and localities think. Those rights are there in the Constitution, and they mean something. . . .

Don't these media people understand that conservatives support the constitution and defending the rights that are spelled out there? There is a big difference between protecting rights that are in the constitution and those that aren't. Conservatives value protecting state rights when liberals are making up rights and imposing them on states. When rights are properly adopted and in the Constitution, Conservatives will protect those rights.
