The case of McDonald v. City of Chicago, was correctly decided today at the U. S. Supreme Court.
In a 5- 4 majority vote, in what is arguably the most important Second Amendment case in Supreme Court history, the Court today held that the “right of the people to keep and bear Arms” cannot be infringed by the states.
“It is clear that the Framers . . . counted the right to keep and bear arms among those fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty,” Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote for the conservatives on the court.
How instructive that today, of all days, the confirmation hearing for Obama’s liberal appointee Elena Kagan begins. On his last day on the court, 90-year-old Justice John Paul Stevens (or his clerks) wrote the minority opinion.
The Heritage Foundation has an exclusive interview with Alan Gura, lead attorney for the plaintiffs. Watch it here.
BRAVO!!
But remember, if Elena Kagan is put on the court, we can kiss our constitutional freedoms goodbye. This is an especially relevant day to consider the ramifications of such an appointment. Kagan is young enough to inject her liberalism for decades. Call Jon Kyl and tell him to vote NO.
This ruling should have been a 9-0 no-brainer.
But, once again, as they did recently with freedom of speech, the four lunatic-left extremists on SCOTUS tried to shred the US Constitution and all it stands for. This 5-4 victory for the Constitution shows that our country is hanging by a thread against the forces that oppose a constitutional democracy.
I expect hussein and the d-crat socialists in CONgress to try to overturn this ruling, as they with the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling on freedom of speech.
She’s just 1 sprocket in th head muslim’s plan to socialize AMERICA! Kyl will no doubt vote against…his political career depends on it. Unfortunately, the Senate Judicary is comprised of a majority of socio-dems…so we’re PROBABLY in for a few decades of “Kaganism”…paganism, socialism, etc…can anyone say TERM LIMITS for SCOTUS Justices AND politicians?!?!?
THe only good thing about this appointment is that it results in one lunatic left wing wacko replacing another lunatic left wing wacko. Net change = 0 other than age.
The important thing is to make sure we have a conservative President after 2012 so that if a conservative justice wants to retire, the replacement will be a conservative. In addition, with the health condition of Ginsberg, it would be possible that we could replace a left wing wacko with a conservative.
