If our "resentment . . . is the product of a serious misunderstanding of the court’s decision", then Sandra Day O'Connor must not have understood it either, because what I think about it is exactly what she articulated in her dissent (and "resentment" would be a pretty mild description of her tone in that dissent). Let's see, who would understand a Supreme Court decision better -- a Supreme Court justice who participated in the case, or an associate professor at a second tier law school?

I dare this air-headed associate law professor to say this garbage to Sandra Day O'Connor's face.

I think this one deserves two full threads of lambasting.

"To the socialists...All problems can be resolved with money."

Yes, and it means using OUR money to resolve issues for their own benefit that we oppose. That is 'Leftist Justice'. We should thank this GWU Shyster for reminding us and for defining who they are ahd how they operate.

A fellow I know who is a lawyer has a black sweatshirt that says, 'Trust me, (picture of a shark) I'm a lawyer'. This guy says, 'Trust me, I'm a Leftist Lawyer!'.

it means 93% of NH voters can read,

It also means that despite that fact, the GD'd politicos will STILL find a way to trickle yellow wetness all over the pee-ons, just to remind that they ARE pissants...ugh, peasants.

Peon peasants well on their way to serfdom, I might add.

Instead of burning books, it is time for the people to start burning large heaps of Liberal "professors" in the streets.

Agreed. A "threat" is not constituted by something which the Supreme Court whole-heartedly approves

Where in the Constitution does it say property can't be seized for private use? To be sure, the government can't seize it for public use without just compensation, but that doesn't mean they couldn't seize it for private use without offering a plugged nickel. </sarcasm>

Mr. Smith and any Justice on the Court wants to try and take my house in violation of my 5th amendment rights is going to get a close up and personal education on my 2nd amendment rights.
