Remember that the SCOTUS went 5 to 4 on Heller -vs- D.C. and McDonald -vs- Chicago. The four dissenting justices were all liberal activist judges. One of them, Ginsburg, stated that a dissent can become the majority of a “
future, wiser court.”
That reminds me of Sotomayor, the "wise Latina" that lied to congress in her confirmation hearings when asked about her position on the 2nd Amendment.
I understand the individual right fully that the Supreme Court recognized in Heller.
She’s referring to the
DC vs. Heller case which recognized gun rights as individual rights and declared unconstitutional the federal ban on firearms in Washington DC. But in the
McDonald vs. Chicago case, which extended
Heller to a state-level gun ban, Sotomayor joined the dissent saying:
In sum, the Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense.
Obama appointed Sotomayor and Kagan to the supreme court and
both lied to congress in their confirmation hearings when asked about their stance on the 2nd Amendment. If Obama gets reelected, he will get two and possibly three more nominations to the supreme court. That means both Heller and McDonald get overturned and we lose the second amendment.
I know that many are not enthused about Romney, he is a reed in the wind and people are not sure what he will do as president. But I know what Obama will do!
The sensible thing is to vote for Romney to get the communist trash out of the White House. The republic can take four years of Romney.
