...SCOTUS is more tilted toward international law than states rights...

So it would seem. The more I think about it the more I think that their recent decision on the DP is a sign of things to come. I think it's going to get ugly. There's a big power struggle brewing and the liberals are digging in their heels.

I think they might be prepared to shut down the Senate in order to stop the Repulican agenda on Judicial Nominees. They aren't exactly coming off as warm and friendly on the other major issues either. McCain said as much the other night on Hanity and Colmes. I don't think he was kidding. The gloves might just be fixing to come off.

Actually, when it comes to your RKBA, that is a states rights issue.

Your RKBA is defined and protected by your state constitution, not the second amendment.

The second amendment is a restriction on the federal government only. And we should thank God every morning that it is so, and pray that it remains that way.

I do not want the federal government protecting my RKBA. No more than I want a fox protecting my hen house.

Doesn't Section 1 of the 14th amendment require the several States to obey the same restrictions on government that are imposed on the Federal government?

I do not want the federal government protecting my RKBA.

I don't think the Bill of Rights has to do with the Federal government "protecting" your rights. It merely prevents them (and, by virtue of the 14th Amendment, the States as well) from infringing on those rights. At least that's the way it was supposed to work. :-/

"Right now, the Supreme Court is definitely oriented towards state rights," said campaign director Hilary McQuie. "I don't want to make a bet, but that more than any other factor could be in favor of the Reich decision."

He does have a point with respect to the Lopez and VAWA cases, but I will be very surprised if they rule in favor of Raich.

You could end up on general welfare by betting on the USSC making a principled decision.

Yea, then we could discuss that whole 'defend the borders' part of the Constitution instead of whether or not it's part of the Federal jurisdiction to dictate what plants citizens of the several states can or cannot smoke.

Tobacco good, marijuana bad....

Oh no, I've mentioned on other threads that I smoke marijuana. I'll gladly go to jail for it, 'cuz I'll know that will leave one less bed for murders, rapists, & child abusers who deserve it much more than I do...& who would YOU prefer taking up jail space: REAL criminals like those, or non-violent pot smokers like me who minds his own business & are not a threat to others?

Are you a nicotine addict? I used to be; Just wait a few more years when tobacco may be a crime...or obeisity, fatty foods, speaking out against homosexuality, & all the rest.

Really, there are people that care about you, even here. For your own sake and for your soul, just stop using drugs. Legally and morally, you know it's the right thing. Can't you stop?

Call me paranoid if you will, but haven't you been listening to the news lately? In Canada, it's already a crime to denounce homosexuality, & many folks in the US wanna see the same thing here. It's getting more difficult for people to smoke cigarettes in this country, & taxes on them are increasing all the time. I just heard a story on FOX about how some employers are firing employees for being too fat or not quitting smoking. I listened to a FL legislator say this evening on Joe Scarborough that the legal driving age should be raised from 16 to 18 (not to mention the fact that the FEDS will now get involved in issuing driver's licenses, which will eventually lead to a national ID card)....individual liberty in this country is decreasing as the size of government grows (but then again, the Founders knew that when you have more of one, the less you will have of the other).

Driving age to 18, well.... I don't know. It might be a good idea, it might not. Most accidents are from 16-21, but that might be because they are just new drivers. Adding the age may help, it may not. If it helps, then I'd agree with going to 18.

Nationalizing ID is scary. Will only punish the law abiding and not the illegals or other criminals.

Cigarettes are legal. Food service places should be able to allow or ban them at their whim.

The 1st amendment and 2nd amendment are non-negotiable to me.
