Scalia’s opinion was classic. He spends 40 pages citing Webster’s in an effort to give the dissenters a vocab and grammar lesson, then he spends 10 pages calling Justice Stevens a douche bag (politely), and 10 pages doing the same to Justice Breyer.

60 pages total of what basically amounts to: “It’s plainly written, right there… can’t you read?”

Even I can not believe that any—well one, the ACLU communist plant, of the justices could not see that our Second Amendment, just like the First and all the others were written to individuals.  The communist, I understand.  Their goal is to disarm the good people so they can enslave us.  That must be understood and communicated clearly.

the storage of gunpowder, something not necessary for the use of fire-arms today

So, modern firearms don’t use gunpowder? (And fire doesn’t melt steel!)
I suppose this gentleman has never met a modern black powder enthusiast either?

You can see that most of the looney left skipped shop class! (And physics, and chemistry and logic and...)

It is a natural law that man is able to defend him or her self.

What? A Natural Law? ?

Today’s ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller makes clear that other municipalities like Chicago that have banned handguns have infringed on the constitutional rights of Americans.

Wrong. And the appeals from Chicago won’t be heard. McCain is again displaying the ineptitude of whoever is writing for him.

For “faint-hearted” originalists, like Scalia and others, the existence of non-originalist precedents can be a barrier to reaching originalist results. But here the issue was one of truly first impression, presenting a “clean” controversy. It therefore allowed the Court to address the issues on first principles of constitutional interpretation.

What’s this guy trying to say, that Scalia hates women and blacks? All these ‘pundits’ are pretty ill informed and high on their own odors. Yawn.

the appeals from Chicago won’t be heard.

Not sure what you’re talking about there, Spark! Chicago won’t have to “appeal” anything, the NRA is filing suit in those cities as we speak!

Or were you just “displaying the ineptitude of whoever is writing for you”?

proof
Do you think the NRA suit will go on appeal? Jackass. It won’t make it up past the circuit courts. SCOTUS won’t say another word on this for 80 yrs.

BTW how do y’all discover Natural Laws, other than in the lab? Is that like the law of inertia or something?

Oh, you’re quoting the idiots over at a CBS open thread? And they are lauding this as a ‘natural law’?

Not the only thing to come out of the Supreme Court the other day.

Funny how things go around and come around.

In his initial run for the U.S. Senate in 2004, this fellow Barack Obama, who we seem to be hearing a lot about these days, was one of the very first beneficiaries of the so-called millionaire’s amendment that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Thursday.

Obama’s main Democratic primary foe that year was Blair Hull, a wealthy investor who poured $28 million of his own money into the campaign.

But under that same national campaign finance law, Hull’s immense personal spending on himself released Obama from the $2,100 per donor cap then in effect.

And it allowed him to raise his own campaign money in increments up to $12,000 per donor.

That national campaign finance law was co-written by another now familiar name, John McCain, the senator from Arizona.

Now, McCain is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who will face Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, on Nov. 4 to become president of these United States. Talk about unintended consequences.

Some analysts believe that Obama might well have lost that crucial first step onto the national political stage without the financial boost he received from McCain’s law allowing him to gather....

... sums in excess of that $2,100 cap. He certainly would have been unable to finance statewide television advertising.

But, wait! His luck wasn’t over. In the ensuing general election, Obama faced Republican millionaire investor Jack Ryan. But, would you believe it, an alleged sex scandal involving his ex-wife forced him out of the race. And the Illinois GOP—talk about desperate—turned to that political powerhouse, Alan Keyes, who was destroyed by newcomer Obama.

Spark, by the way, that was a awesome movie you have for your avatar. I’m sure that Proof wouldn’t make it through two min. of it without popping a vein.
