So we can thank Justice Clarence Thomas for pulling back the curtain a bit this week when he issued a public dissent from the court�s refusal to hear a challenge to a San Francisco gun control ordinance. This case, Jackson v. City and County of San Francisco, went to conference six times before the court issued an order on Monday denying review. Even without Justice Thomas�s dissenting opinion, which only Justice Antonin Scalia joined, it would have been obvious that something was afoot, but we wouldn�t have known exactly what. |

"Seven years ago, in District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court ruled for the first time that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to own a gun."
It did no such thing. It confirmed that the Second Amendment GUARANTEES an individual right to keep and bear arms.
But, a liberal is a liberal is a liberal. According to liberals, we only have the rights GIVEN by government, its edicts, or its rulings.
Can you say IGNORANCE? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
