SCOTUSblog - HELLER - Be there or Be square!

5-4 ruling.

The chowderheads remain chowderheads.

par for the course these days....

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

No, 5-4 is not surprising. Kennedy is left center at best, and closer to left than center. TWO dissenting opinions. For those who didn't get what I meant, I'm happily surprised that Kennedy was NOT in dissent, so I'm NOT surprised the other four were. And all four in dissent signed both dissenting opinions.

10:16 Tom Goldstein -  Apologies - there is a second dissenting opinion, but only one majority - no plurality and no concurrences.  

It is HUGE that there is no plurality.

It's nice there is a second dissenting opinion. That means one of the chowderheads has less chowder in his head most likely.

HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I kid you not... I am sitting in my office in south florida.........and outside there is celebratory gun fire right now.

liberals all have the same two traits:

be against the norm......no matter what the norm is.
generally feel as if you are a victim.

conservatives always generalize...



(5-4 ruling means we have one less thing to argue about in the O-club now. Sad day...I think I'll go out and shoot)

[ZetaNine]

I often wonder if the anti-gun crowd ever pondered the fact that an additional reason most enemy army's may shy away from attacking the us...is the fact that we have such a well armed citizenry. no doubt that has to be a legit concern...and no doubt...that sheds light on the forward thinking of our founding fathers.


“Logic demands that there be a link between the stated purpose and the command.”

“We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans.”

“the most natural reading of ‘keep Arms’ in the Second Amendment is to “have weapons.”

“The term was applied, then as now, to weapons that were not specifically designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity.”

“Putting all of these textual elements together, we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.”

conservatives always generalize...

Oh really?   They "always" generalize?  That sounds like a generalization.

I'm wondering, is there one person posting on this board who is "anti-gun"?
