If you are referring to me, I was simply pointing out where the phrase came from. I am typically far more in line with Madisonian interpretations than Jeffersonian (or Hamiltonian, for that matter).
Also, while it is the currently accepted interpretation of the first amendment, it is not universally accepted and there are many intelligent people who do not like the current interpretation. Just many intelligent people disagree on the second amendment, it is possible for intelligent people to disagree on this, and to the extent to which the phrase, if accepted as the interpretation, goes.
