His version of white guilt.

"But taking it down is still the right thing to do. There is no getting around the fact that the armies that went to battle under that flag fought for a nation and a political and social order built on enslaving Africans. And there is no getting around the fact that the same flag was resurrected in the 1950s by Klansmen and other white supremacists, and wielded as a symbol of resistance to equality for black Americans."

After all, the Stars and Stripes could also be said to be the symbol of a political order built on slavery. He still doesn't get it, and it is not clear to me why he doesn't understand that his simplified version of the reasons for secession is wrong. Noah Millman is even worse.

The Constitution is dead.

The truth told by a Republican nominee to the court, Samuel Alito. From Aaron Wolf's If I Could Turn Back Time:

Here’s the bottom line of today’s SCOTUS decision regarding the incorporation of the Second Amendment, which amounts to an explicit rejection of traditional federalism on the part of the conservative majority. (Full disclosure: I’m of the Hestonian “cold, dead hands” persuasion.) Writing for the majority, Justice Alito admits the original intent of the Bill of Rights: “The Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment, originally applied only to the Federal Government.” The Marshall Court “firmly rejected the proposition that the first eight Amendments operate as limitations on the States, holding that they apply only to the Federal Government.” Then comes the “big but” of American history: “The constitutional Amendments adopted in the aftermath of the Civil War fundamentally altered our country’s federal system.”

So who dissented? Not the supposed originalist Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas.
