"THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its (the federal government's) powers, that further declaratory and restrictive (of the government) clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution."

That paragraph essentially destroys interpretation out of context, of the bill of rights.

It should be required reading in civics classes nation wide, and even some judges could apparently use a refresher.
