McDonald Vs Chicago transcripts
« on: March 08, 2010, 11:23:13 AM »
To be fair here, I found these on the NRA website (I've been accused of Whizzing the NRA recently so I thought I should give credit where it is due, although there's not much credit in copying court transcripts ::) )
These are a LOT of serious reading though. One of the things I carried away from reading the actual transcripts is how POLITISIZED the Court is! I mean it simply JUMPS out at you when you read the remarks of some of the Justices! I had hoped that politics would not be a part of our highest court (in point of fact they are not supposed to be a political body at all, which is why they are appointed for life...but the liberal appointees don't even TRY to hide it) I'm also stunned at how convoluted the arguments are, both for and against. I would have thought that, after Heller, the basic issues would have been hammered out and the need to  rehash would be extremely limited. I was also surprized that everyone seems to have missed the obvious in the arguments regarding the "militia" Washington DC does not have a "Militia" at all so the States Militia aspect was not a part of the argument, as decided by the court. That being the case, Heller holds from the outset that the militia clause in not applicable for consideration as an individual right. Why are those lawyers still hammering at that one ???

At any rate, make sure you have access to plenty of liquid refreshment, turn yer BS filters on high, set back and enjoy the read........
