You gotta catch up on reading my chapters, that quote is used about chapter 20, as in "I think that awkward time is over."

That's when the first senator gets plinked.

[harpseal]

I shall defer to Travis on this.

The ninth circuit is probably the worst of all the Federal circuit courts.

[Travis McGee]

The lib rat media is celebrating prematurely.

The USSC loves to slap down the 9th.

[harpseal]

I sincerely and profoundly hope the US Supreme Court does overule the Ninth Circuit and that they do it soon. I do not wish to see Civil War break out in the United States of America and if this ruling stands that will be the result.

How can this laughable ruling stand? Belisles was one of their primary sources for cripes sake!

[Robert A Cook PE]

"So you're saying that people who wave a Confederate flag are racists?...

No, no. The Attorney for VPC (such a emphuism! "Ve Protect Crime!") implied (deliberately) that ANY person who waves a (battle)flag is a racist!

"...enemies, foreign and domestic."

Citizens must be vilgilent in defense of our Constitution and remorseless in destruction of her enemies.

The 9th's Blackrobes are outlaws in the Politburo Gang. They hold high office during a period of good behavior, not life. They must have created that self-serving interpretation too; we are not so illusioned.

This "living" revision is D.O.A.

[harpseal]

How can this laughable ruling stand? Belisles was one of their primary sources for cripes sake!

There are many ways this ruling can stand. The US Supreme Court can simply accept the "reasoning" in the Ninth Circuit ruling on the basis of "Common Sense." It is important to remember that the Soviet Constitution under Stalin guaranteed as many "civil liberties" as the American Constitution it was just never enforced.

Book bump.

[Travis McGee]

But the 9th is now in direct conflict with the 5th, how can they let both stand?

[Travis McGee]

Thanks!

[patton]

Thanks my foot. I will give you $50 for the first autographed copy...

Historically the SCOTUS has often let issues "Ripe for a definitive ruling wait for them to get arround to picking a case they like. In the interim the "Law of the land" is totally different between two different Circuits and there is no definitive answer in the orher circuits. Eventually they act but they take their time about it.

I'm going to set up a PO box tomorrow, you will get the first book!

[Travis McGee]

I think they are cowards, they don't like the 2 possible outcomes (civil war, or machine guns to the masses.)

[Plutarch]

Now here's more: "The right to keep and bear arms, concluded Judge Reinhardt, is different from owning or possessing them. (Huh?)

The written decision is very interesting. The part where Judge Reinhardt dismisses "keep" as a meaningless throwaway part of the trite phrase "keep and bear" is priceless.

Great reply: There is shizophrenia on the bench, and the left coast is going to get a surprise when the SCOTUS tells them recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Re: your remarks on the apparent cowdness found among the Supreme Court justices.

This is not a new phenominae. The instances where the Supreme Court has ruled withcourage and alacrity over the course of two hundred years are relatively few and far between. Marbury vs.Madison, Dred Scott, and a few others come to mind but in general the court as Peter Finley Dunn stated will follow the election results. Mr. Dunn's comments are from the 19th Century.
