Impeachable Offense is whatever Congress deems, Supreme Court Justices only need to Demonstrate Bad Behavior to be Impeached, so Yes they should all be removed through the impeachment process, then in November if enough conservatives attain power, reduce the number of Justices to 5 after removing these 4 traitors.

This time! Kagan will be the vote to make it 5 - 5, then what?

No, Kagan is replacing another justice (Stephens). She will just be a different one of the four. Her appointment won't swing things the other way.

Notice the picture they added with this article. I’m sure we are supposed to be terrified but it’s a nice looking rifle.

Did the Court really say this?

The first sentence of the paragraph was "Second, petitioners and many others who live in high-crime areas dispute the proposition that the Second Amendment right does not protect minorities and those lacking political clout." It was in the context of arguing against the opposition by using their position against them.

I posted it for the shot against the Chicago thugs.

Wonderful ruling. Disturbing that it is only 5-4.

 

Indeed. You really need to read the concurrance by Scalia though. It basically comes out an accuses Stevens of malfeasance.

Cornell has links to the opinions in HTML


  Exactly what is covered is not clear. But whatever else is in, he knows that the right to keep and bear arms is out, despite its being as “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition,” Washington v. Glucksberg , 521 U. S. 702, 721 (1997) (internal quotation marks omitted), as a right can be, see District of Columbia v. Heller , 554 U. S. ___, ___–___, ___–___, ___–___ (2008) (slip op., at 20–21, 26–30, 41–44). I can find no other explanation for such certitude except that Justice Stevens, despite his forswearing of “personal and private notions, post , at 21 (internal quotation marks omitted), deeply believes it should be out.

Wow. In the language of a supreme court ruling, thems pracically fighting words.

The opinion says that. But does it mean that if the city argues it is safer, they can now take away guns?

No. You really have to read the whole thing.
