“I will not have my rights to bear arms trampled upon!”

Here Goddard is justifying his reasons for their ideology and the way that he interprets the commandments.

The new guards leader, Scythe Goddard, is advocating for less regulation of scythe matters, even to the extent of no limits on gleanings at all.

Describes that because there is no crime in their world, they do not have precedents that establish the practice of being told your right when arrested and the right to an attorney that was established through the constitution, Miranda v Arizona, and Gideon v Wainwright. It also says that they does not really have the right to a fair trial because it’s is scythe matters and the High Blade decides.

“His interpretations of the commandments might have been stretches, but nothing he did was in actual violation. Even his gleaning rampages were not forbidden by anything by custom and tradition.”

The old guard and new guard are like the political parties that we have in our governmental system. The old guard favors tradition and a stricter adherence to the commandments and other guiding principles, while the new guard wants to bring about change and have a looser interpretation of the commandments so that they may have more opportunity and freedom in their work. There are also independents.

Connection to religious freedom.

So basically they just a murderous gang who can’t be punished because they are considered above the law???

Connection to federalism

“Separation of scythe and state.”

There is a debate about the rights of the scythe , mentions of precedent, and the procedure of the debates that determines the rights of the scythes.
