Thanks for the head's up! Anybody else have such info, especially well known local speed traps (the area is famous historically) I might need to know about please say something before I leave on Tuesday! Or antigun jurisdictions.

Thanks! Ping to my post #41.

If this keeps up, sooner or later, the Rule of Five is going to run into Rule 308.

Might have already been. Paging Henry Bowman...

This is exactly why I hope Bush doesn't nominate his anti-second amendment AG.

Or if he nominates Gonzales, he's defeated. I would support a filibuster of that guy, whoever did it.

A position on the 2nd usually is a pretty good bellwether of a man's position on many other things, and Gonzales is a squish, with a great likelihood of being another Souter. He'd make all these 5-4 bad decisions 6-3 bad decisions.

The Constitution is more important than any one president, or that president's fave minority tokens.

d.o.l.

before Hillary was accepted to Wesley College

I dunno if there is a Wesley College, but the college that Cruella attended was Wellesley.

The dalmatian population of east-central Massachusetts never recovered....

Update of Regulation Three-Oh-Three, I see.

It would make a good book.... (heh heh)

And it is long past overdue that the NRA stand firm on this issue.

I can see you haven't been paying attention.

The most important issue in the country. Judges.

Just don't count on Republicans to thoroughly vet them - look whom they've given us on the current court. A mixed bag at the very least.

Even Scalia went power-mad regarding the Commerce Clause with the medicinal pot ruling.

Screw 'em all; live free of Big Stupid Government.

Kind of brings to mind the old threads of The Window War.

Too bad those old threads are locked in the archives -- reposting them might awaken a whole 'nother discussion.

Madison County in the Panhandle is a speed trap. Don't think that you're done when you see a traffic enforcement team; it's just the first! They are sneaky. It's the only county in the area that routinely monitors the interstate. Just set your cruise on 70 for about 45 minutes, get through Madison county and then zoom on your way.

Now is the time for firearms owners to have their say on America's highest court, which may be called upon in the future to pass final judgment on the Second Amendment..
—by Sandra S. Froman, NRA President

Final judgment? Hardly. When, and if they 'decide' that although we have an individual Right to Keep and Bear [some] Arm's, - that it can be regulated/licensed to the point of prohibition; -- then the real judgment will fall to the people.

Within a short few years, the meaning of the Second Amendment could well be decided by a final edict from nine men and women who sit—unelected and for life terms—on the United States Supreme Court. -- In the normal career of federal judges, there is but one point when they can be held accountable to the people — during the nomination process.

Not true. Under the Founders' unique system of checks and balances, either Congress or the President can refuse to uphold such 'edicts'.
-- And if both branches refuse their duty, the people in each State can also refuse to kowtow to edicts.
We will have recourse, or we will have revolution.

And it is long past overdue that the NRA stand firm on this issue, rather than elect presidents who believe judges can issue decisions & "final edicts" that must be obeyed.
Both judges & executives must be taught to obey our Constitution.

Hey DfM, I'm very afraid that judges will be the death of us. It seems almost impossible to get a real Constitutionalist mind onto the bench, so foreign decisions are going to become the basis for ruling on law. Bye bye, free, unique country...unless some of our elected Republicans grow some cajones!
