The case is different with individual rights. The benefit of the doubt is supposed to go to the states over the feds and to the individual over any level of government unless one can find in the Constitution words to the contrary. So individual rights don't have to be listed to be valid, like govt powers.
However, even here SCOTUS can err, as in Roe by asserting an unlisted individual right (abortion) that conflicts with a listed individual right (life), or by exalting the feds over states on a matter that is not properly theirs to regulate. In Roe, I believe they did both.
Ooh! I like that! Sign me up.
People like this fall into one of 3 catagories.
Some are insane. They do not recognize factual history or logic. Something is fundamentally broken inside their heads.
Some are Stupid. They just don't have the intellectual capacity to think for themselves. They parrot what others tell them as they cannot conceive of some ideas on their own.
Some are Evil. They know what they do is wrong. They don't care. Their goal is control over us. No matter how high the bodies must be stacked.
Adrian, IMO, flips back and forth between Evil and Stupid.
I know that.
Democratic lawmakers praised the Mayor's push for gun control. "It would be great if Mayor Giuliani could become the point Republican pushing comprehensive gun control legislation," said Representative Charles E. Schumer, the Brooklyn Democrat who is the leading proponent of handgun control in the House of Representatives.
A liberal bully President Giuliani and Chuckie Schumer will have LOTS of chances to work together in a bi-partisan manner on this and many other issues in Rudy's liberal social agenda. /s
Just finished a great book - “Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution”.
The federal gov’t nearly IMMEDIATELY reneged on the promise of enumerated powers. (Marshall)
Basically, there were those that were nationalists - Hamilton - that wanted a supreme national gov’t, and the states wouldn’t ratify, so they argued enumeration until ratification, then governed as they wished anyway.
No more gun grabbers. EVER...
the difference being; you’ll occsionally see giuliani in a dress :)
It's a "tug of war" we're losing BTW... just in case anyone is keeping score.
Hmmm, yes. Hamilton, not my favorite founder.
In Hamilton’s defense, he definitely wasn’t a gun grabber ...
Correct, Mitt strongly supported and passed an “ugly gun” ban.

Some things just can’t be fixed by joining the NRA two weeks before running for office.
The 2000 Presidential election was won by Bush, because of Gore’s stance on banning guns. All Gore had to do to be President is win his own home state, but even the Tennesee voters did not like his stance on Gun rights.
Romney clearly stated that he STILL supports a assault weapons ban!
He’s running national now so he is talking a national ban!
His failure to over turn his Fathers, or even Clinton's, anti-RKBA EO's speaks volumes.
Enough of this crap. Hunter and Thompson are both far and above any of the other GOP contenders. On a whole host of issues. Why are we even discussing anyone else?
Are we willing to risk another "Brady Bill" Bob Dole election just because Rudy and Willard are media hyped darlings that are good at giving the illusion of "electability"?
Who the heck is Willard? From yours and other posts it sounds like it’s Romney, but I don’t get the reference.
Willard is “Mitt” Romney’s real first name.
Not me, deeds not words are what counts. Rudy has proven himself to be a gun grabber and a homosexual special rights guy, say NO to Rudy!!! Electibility is a shame, the Constitution and America is what is at risk, big time!!
I see why he goes by Mitt. Or better yet, just invent a new first name out of whole cloth. “Mitt” ain’t all that great.
And it is past due time more folks realize this...
