IMO, Lew Rockwell's gone off the deep end, but a few years back he expressed a similar sentiment and one that best sums up my idea of government: I'd like to live in an America where I don't have to care about what happens in DC.
I’m worried because of decisions like Kelo. In the DC gun case, some possible decisions:
1. It’s a municipality, in fact; a city, and therefore...
2. It’s federal territory, and that means...
3. It’s your home, and one’s home is one’s castle, that the rain may enter but the King may not.
Number 3 is practically a fairy tale now. “Once upon a time there used to be a place where dreams are born, miles beyond the reach of the king; it’s not on any chart...it’s right there where you stand!”
If it defined a DC home as being under federal or local jurisdiction with regard to gun possession, a ruling for gun grabbers would be like a court order to enter the premises of every home in America. It’s hard to imagine the Court letting that happen.
But then again...Kelo.
Whose home is it? Yours or your neighbor’s, your town council’s, the developers, the state’s, the federal government’s?
Wasn't a very restful night last night. I haven't felt this tense since the night they told us we'd be deploying to Iraq in support of Operation Desert Storm.
Rehnquist would’ve been against D.C. O’Conner would’ve been whatever roll of the dice said.
He was the nicest guy you could meet. Just a plain-spoken Indiana boy. Here's hoping...
Leave us alone. Don't tread on me...

I saw on The Grapevine last night, that the property the house was on is now vacant.
Seems that the businessman who "stoled" the property by Judaical activism has no one offering to join him in building up the property.
“Wasn’t a very restful night last night.”
Same here.
“Whose home is it? Yours or your neighbor’s, your town council’s, the developers, the state’s, the federal government’s?”
The bank’s!
Will have my laptop with me ....
....waiting with extreme anticipation...
...oh yeah, can someone please link the actual document of the decision when you get it?
THANKS!
Good catch my apology’s
Anxiously waiting...
Love your tagline! And looking forward to the day FR has commercials. On its own tv network of course.
Thanks for the live thread, btw.
Haven’t seen any videos, but will search for them. I have spoken to a guy who went through that and it just makes me furious. In a disaster, I can expect to be stripped of the ability to defend my family... pure insanity.
LOL, I was walking down the hallway of the school I teach in, when two students in back of me, started to sing, the exact words of my tagline.
Prole - I’ve got a “Celebrate Diversity” t-shirt with the handguns on it.
Back in early 2000s, I wore it to one of my law school classes at the Univeristy of Florida. Man, did I get some dirty looks that day
“Thanks for the live thread, btw.”
Oh, you’re very welcome. What might be the most important SCOTUS decision of my lifetime....you can bet I was going to start a live thread!
Let’s hope the servers keep plugging away.
We’re all in our places, with bright shining faces . . .
