Mentioned "hunting" and "target practice" as legitimate uses for a gun, as long as the state decides you can have one. Not one word on self-defense.
Context...?
Sounds like she needs to go back to law school, a good one, and focus on constitutional law.
Sounds like she needs to leave public office entirely.
there you go, thats all we need. Get the NRA to burn up the phones to the pubbies and the blue dogs and we can derail her..no problem...next.
WTF?!
My bleeding arse it doesn’t apply for the states. The second amendment was written specifically FOR the states.
More info please. What was the question? What was the full response? I can’t listen to the hearings live today as my net connection is sooooo slow today as to prevent me loading anything but text. :/
Just fired off this to Isakson and Chambliss. Suggest you let YOUR guys hear from YOU ASAP!!!!

Senator,
A vote AGAINST Sonia Sotomayor will be a vote FOR principle.
Regardless of her testimony and responses, she is a dangerous leftist. And the argument by the increasingly silly and irrelevant Lindsey Graham that she is no worse than Souter is akin to a doctor telling you that your lung cancer is cured – but you have leukemia.
Should you be tempted to vote FOR her to curry favor with Georgia’s large Hispanic population, you will be making a HUGE error in judgment. Thousands of them are non-citizens, here in violation of immigration laws and, in light of the recent idiotic Justice Department ruling that Georgia may NOT require voters to show ID, ACORN (or whatever they are calling themselves today) will drag them to the polls on election day anyway. And if you think they will vote for you because you supported Sotomayor, you had better think again: ACORN WILL INSTRUCT THEM VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT OR THEY WON’T GET THE PROMISED 20 BUCKS, PACK OF SMOKES OR WHATEVER.
VOTE “NO” ON SOTOMAYOR!

She should sue her old law school for malpractice.
Very dangerous woman...

Yes, if it doesn’t apply to the states then why does the First say “Congress shall make no law...” and the Second say “...shall not be infringed.”? And further, if she’s such a stickler on incorporation, why does she support the it for the First with LESS justification?
Obama himself, although a constitutional scholar, doesn’t understand (or chooses not to) the 2nd amendment. This is unacceptable.
Free Republic has a long list of NRA haters who tell other posters they will not join because of something that happened forty years ago.
But when help is needed the first thing on everyone’s minds is the NRA.
Rudyard Kipling wrote something about that.
I don’t doubt that based on the info provided here but I still want more info. I was hoping there might be some quasi-current transcripts released through out the day since my connection can’t quite manage streaming video today.
This is the kind of tripe they teach in law school. Law school is the problem, not the solution.
If we were only that lucky. I’m a little worried about the next nominee after she gets shot down. She might be a sacrificial pawn in greater plan. So we might get much worse in the next one and there will be a greater expectation toward confirmation after destroying the first one not to mention more pressure from the press and Obamaniacs.
