If...I don't know what the Supremes will do, Steve. If I knew you'd have to pay big bucks to read my stuff.<BR/><BR/>You've got some "conservative" justices, if they break on the side of contemporary writings and expressed intent you know they will uphold individual right and more strongly than currently practiced - that would be the "Constructionist" ruling. The problem is that this is also an authoritarian Court which tends to break in favor of that kind of law. In my mind it is obviously an open question what competing agenda wins. I have not found this Court to be particularly concerned with the rights of individuals in comparison to the interests of the "state."<BR/><BR/>Regardless of where the Supremes come down, it is in our interests to continue to emphasize the importance of respecting the entire Constitution.Chuck Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656874242638324636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22183958.post-56250937075967452782008-01-30T19:01:00.000-05:002008-01-30T19:01:00.000-05:00Always an optomist, Chuck, me I think the Supreme ...Always an optomist, Chuck, me I think the Supreme Court will have a problem with nullifying thousands of gun laws by affirming the individual right to keep and bear arms, that leaves the door open for the banning bunnies since they see no restriction as unreasobnable, Obama as the guardian of my guns rights, no way. There was a stink about him snubbing Hillary, he said he was talking to Clair, that's Clair as in McCaskil, don't think I like the idea of this lady having a president on her side. The second amendment is in trouble, as are the borders with either McCain or any of the democrats.<BR/> What the hell, guess I'll see you on the village green where we could hear another shot heard around the world. Obama unifying the country is about as likely as hell freezing over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
