Sotomayor on self-defense

Sotomayor on self-defense: "The most interesting exchange thus far occurred when Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., asked Sotomayor about a 2004 opinion, which she signed, that found that 'the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right.'

Coburn wondered how courts cannot see the explicitly stated Second Amendment 'right to keep and bear arms' as fundamental, yet can hold as fundamental the unexpressed right to privacy. Sotomayor answered: 'Is there a constitutional right to self-defense? And I can't think of one. I could be wrong, but I can't think of one.'"
