"The clerks don't sign the opinions...."

Very good.

"SCALIA : We therefore read Miller to say ...."

Good point. Miller was also "In the absence of any evidence ... " because there were no defendents or defense lawyers at the trial (as I understand it).

"NRA: We Won! We Won! We Won! "

Very approriate. I sometimes wonder why the NRA seems to hold back about pushing for gun rights. They seem to be doing a good bit in the states now.

"Follow the money" is always a safe bet.

They claim the rights were lost incrementally, so need to regained the same way. What they really mean is that even though the people had the right to machine guns before, they shouldn't have the right to them any more. I.e., the feds are right to hem in the RKBA.

That's the excuse, and the real reasons (besides fund raising) for not exposing blatant bogus jurisprudence to their membership.

In the end, I think it doesn't make any difference. The public is, for the most part, a bunch of lazy, ignorant (I mean that in an endearing way), dependent, irresponsible (not my fault), and risk averse individuals. Even if the NRA told the public what a bunch of lying cheats and enablers the Courts have been, the people wouldn't act on the information.
