My History Can Beat Up Your Politics show

Summary: Quartering soldiers isn't very common these days, and thus the third of ten amendments to the Constitution that make up the Bill of Rights doesn't get much attention. Never touched directly by the Supreme Court, it was only even addressed once directly in a Federal case. Yet that hasn't stopped the Third Amendment from having some legal influence. We look at the history of the amendment and what its very presence among others might suggest. And we look at how unleashed the way some want, it could be far more powerful.
