DC v. Heller Decision

[Hazcat]

Loved the scene of the tank coming through the RR tunnel blaring "You are my Sunshine"



Should some one send a copy to TAB ?

I liked the paint round into the Panzer (or was it a Tiger) and

"Woof Woof, That was my dog imiitation.  Wanna hear my other dog imitation?  Woof"

Him, Charles Bronson and Telly Savalas facing down the Tiger tank, to the Clint Eastwood music, (Good,Bad, and Ugly ? ) Sutherland just flips the flap back on his holster

Two problems I noticed in the Heller vs DC verdict. 

First, was that the Court said that you could have a handgun IN YOUR HOME.  What happened to "bear arms" from the Constitution.  Did the Constitution state that we had to keep them at home?   I don't think so...!

Second, The Court stated that the handgun could be used for self-defense and hunting.  That was not the "original intent"!

Lastly, it is amazing that four of these unelected potentates ruled against it.  Who are these people anyway??  And whose country are they trying to protect??

Marshall I can't seem to locate the page that had all the Heller interviews and documentation on it. I see several MB interviews scattered across the Heller decision thread. Can you move a link to the home page and consolidate everything? or have I missed something....tks...

1776,

If you go to the home page and look at the panel titled  District of Columbia v Heller Articles and Comentaries there is a link to all of them there.

Rush Limbaugh's take:

I mean this is striking.  This is simple.  But I'll tell you one of the things that bothers me about this, not the ruling itself.  But every June, the country gets out of bed (panting) and they start panting, and the country says, "What will the court tell us we can do today, and what will the court tell us we can't do?"  The Supreme Court, by virtue of its own usurpation of powers, by virtue of liberal justices being on this court for years and years and years has taken over the role of arbiter of political decisions in this country, not judicial.  I mean, yeah, they do some judicial cases, obviously.  But it does frighten me that so many people slavishly look at the United States Supreme Court as the final word on issues that are political, not judicial and not legal.  So we sit around like little serfs waiting for the crumbs to be thrown our way as we hang outside the big mansion hoping to be fed a little freedom or hoping not to have some taken away from us.

"Hey, they upheld the Second Amendment!"  That should not be news.  The fact that this was even up for grabs should be frightening as hell to all of us.  The fact that four justices on the US Supreme Court tried to take it away from us, and yet we're going, "All right, all right."

 The duty to ENFORCE the constitution lies with We, the people exercising our 1st and 2nd amendment rights. That is why it is written from the perspective of "We, the people. The duty of the executive and legislative branches is to DEFEND the constitution by providing effectively for the common defense, and not knowingly passing any laws that contradict it. The duty of the Judicial branch (SCOTUS) is to interpret the constitution sufficiently to settle any questions that might arise. Activist judges and Justices have blurred the line between branches, but the actual responsibility to hold governments feet to the fire and MAKE them obey the Constitution lies with "We the people".
