I wonder if McCain will get the endorsement. He shouldn’t.

I am thankful that so many Senators and House Members signed on in support.

That would definitely beat voting for Obama, who is looking like my best choice, now, too.

I am pleasantly surprised.
Vice President Cheney knows the agenda of the next president will be to shred the U.S. Constitution, whether it's a Republican or Democrat???

Me too. He’s been a calming presence over the last 7 years. I’m sure he’s looking forward to fly fishing in Wyoming and bird hunting with Dave the lab.

Can McCain run as Cheney’s VICE-President?

From the referenced brief: "...individual, fundamental ..."
Those are the two pillars needed to support a Supreme Court decision which will challenge every anti-gun law in the nation.
Such support from a majority of both houses of Congress is not sufficient to make an unConstitutional law Constitutional. But it is quite sufficient to put liberal Supreme Court Justices on notice that the rights of the people are not to be infringed.

The 2nd Amendment is easy unless one has crap in their head.
The use of the term “the People” means it is an individual right, just as the term is used in other amendments.
There is no such original meaning as a “government” militia. A militia is a collection of private citizens bringing their -personally- owned weapons to the defense of their country. Militia and National Guard are completely different things.
A local/state/federal government entity cannot confer the right to own a firearm because the US Constitution is predicated on the fact that -all- legal residents are already endowed by the US Constitution to own firearms.

Interesting that Cheney and Congress have signed off on an "argument that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual, fundamental right to Keep and Bear Arms; that any infringement on this right should be subject to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny", while the Bush administration has filed a separate, much softer brief arguing that "certain gun control measures are Constitutionally appropriate".
It seems the government is divided against itself on the issue.

I expect that Cheney signed as presiding officer of the Senate, rather than expressing dissagreement with the abominable official administration position. Be interesting to hear him comment on this point, but he so seldomly gives interviews.

McCain appears to be standing with the good guys on this one. But, try as I might, I couldn’t find the names Clinton or Obama on the list of co-signers.

Milwaukee_Guy said:
"...it is an individual right,..." Similarly, its prominent position in our Bill of Rights argues strongly that it is a "fundamental" right; at least as fundamental as the penumbral emanation entitling people to the unquestioned right to kill their unborn children.
Liberals ought to be insisting that kindergarteners be indoctrinated into the usefulness of firearms. Middle schoolers ought to be trained in the use and maintenance of arms. And high schoolers should be let out of classes without parental consent when they feel the need to fire off a few hundred rounds at the school firing range.
For those being released from government custody a version of the Miranda warning should include: "You have a right to keep and bear arms. If you cannot afford a firearm and ammunition, a loaded firearm will be supplied to you."

I encountered Dick Cheney at the Borders in Tyson's Corner on a Sunday afternoon. I had already entered the store and was checking out the computer books. On my way toward the front of the store to get on the escalator, I passed right by a guy who looked just like Dick Cheney. I as looked up the escalator, there was a guy in a black suit with an earphone. Another peek at the register...yet another guy dressed the same way. I looked back at the magazine racks. It was Dick Cheney. There was a black limo and a couple black SUVs blocking ahead and behind the limo.
I'm thankful for Dick Cheney's steady hand as VP with President Bush. The next term is going to be a carnival horror show.

Within the last week, the "Mighty Ducks" hockey team was taking a tour of the White House. President Bush made an appearance and called attention to all the extra security. He said that was necessary in case Mr Cheney got word of ducks in the vicinity.
