If those were the only ones controlling guns, that would be a vast improvement.
Bye-bye NFA ‘34?
I know ... I’m dreaming.
Pray that Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito, and Kennedy stay healthy.
She may be Catholic in the sense that she supports Christmas and on occasion may go to a local church with her family. But my gut says that’s about it.
In fact it would not surprise me at all that the last time she was in a church was for a funeral or a wedding.
She’s very liberal and being from NYC, I understand the psychology of her. She’s a “mainstream” liberal-left judge who resides in her own world of liberals with Da Bronx flavor.
I agree 100% with your post.
Very true, they will definately be in my prayers.
I’m sure she’s anti gun, but in order for the NRA to come out against her, she would have to have a record on the gun issue. Are there actual statements, decisions or opinions she has rendered that would have gun grabbing views? We can only hope so that NRA can get involved.
I just want to know why her experiences as a hispanic women are superior to mine as a Jewish white male.
Or just white male.
Maybe not. Obama and Eric Holder would be somewhat careful to avoid a pick being derailed on the recent 2nd amendment decision.
Sonia Sotomayor is a judge on the federal Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers New York state, Connecticut and Vermont. According to Sotomayor, “the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right.” (U.S. v. Sanchez-Villar, 2004).
That's to the Right of Souter though isn't it?
Sounds more like, "We'll make up the rules as we go along ... stroke of the pen, law of the land ... kinda' cool, huh? "
Your freeper handle alone should qualify you. Creative, insight-giving, and humorous, it says that you’re real.
She is more qualified because THEY are the ones who truly believe and practice racism and sexism, and THEY have power because of an incredibly blind(ed) voting public.

Not able to do so! The Communists Party, formally the Democrats, are in total control of the Government.

Now THAT’S what I call finding a silver lining on a cloud.
Thanks.
Someone needs to dig deeper into her decisions, because what was cited is 50/50 good and bad.
That is, while China’s abortion laws are horrific, emigrating to the US to avoid those laws is intolerable. How many Chinese could emigrate to the US with that rationale? 100 million? 400 million? Even political refugees fleeing genocide have their limits when coming to the US. We cannot absorb the world’s problems. I have to agree with the judge.
However, her other opinion, “The Second Amendment applies only to limitations the federal government seeks to impose on this right”, in Maloney vs Cuomo, is questionable.
Originally Maloney v. Spitzer, then renamed Maloney v. Rice, then renamed Maloney v. Cuomo (three different NY Attorney Generals), is a case concerning the martial arts weapon nunchaku, or numbchucks.
“Since 1974, the possession of nunchaku, a martial-arts weapon consisting of two hardwood sticks connected by a cord, rope or chain, has been defined as a crime in the State of New York. The mere possession of a nunchaku within one’s own home for peaceful use in martial-arts practice by a person with no criminal record is classified as a misdemeanor that may carry up to a one-year prison sentence. Possession by a person with a criminal record is defined as a felony.”
“The draconian nature of these laws is made all the more ironic by virtue of the historical fact that the nunchaku, which was originally a farm implement used for threshing rice, was adapted for use as a weapon by the People of Okinawa after invading oppressive governments disarmed them, making it illegal to possess a sword or other weapon.”
“The federal case named Eliot Spitzer (the New York Attorney General) and Denis Dillon (the District Attorney for Nassau County) as defendants, and seeks only declaratory relief (i.e., a ruling to the effect that the criminalization of the simple possession of nunchaku within one’s home is unconstitutional).”
Recent update: “Thursday, December 13, 2007 - Motion to Stay Appeal Made in Second Circuit
“On December 10, I (Maloney) served and filed a motion to stay the appeal pending the Supreme Court’s decision in the Heller case, which will determine whether the Second Amendment confers a personal right.”

I’m so glad your principles are dispensable.
You blame the voters, and not the candidate... That makes you a part of the problem, FRiend - and certainly not a part of the solution.
Assuming, of course, that “conservative” is more than just a word to you.
