"All of our work since 2000 has been leading to this point. Please do not blow it."


I know of tons of Libertarians and other third party type voters (mostly 2nd Amendment supporters), who voted for Bush simply because of this ONE issue. Then we have the Republican base who also has a big stake in this.

Now is not the time to compromise away our best shot at getting the Court back on the right track. I can see a lot of people on the right sitting out the next election, if the wrong choice is made.

He Certainly would not of won 2000 but for this issue. Even if we only consider the 2004 vote, he would not have won, if he would have said in the campaign that Chuck get to help me pick my judges

Exactly!

I a Bush appoints another gun grabber "collective rights" nitwit (like Gonzales or really anyone who is acceptable to Schumer) to the Supreme Court, I will never vote for another Republican. Ever. I will change my registration to Constitution or Libertarian.

There are a LOT of people who voted to put and keep Bush in office (or to keep Gore and Kerry out) specifically to protect the Second Ammendment. We have done everything we can to empower the Republicans so they can defend the Second Ammendment. If they throw all that work away with a single gun grabbing, Schumer approved, appointment to the Supreme Court, then to hell with them.

Also, if Bush and the Republicans put another gun grabber on the Supreme Court, and afterwards the NRA continues to support him and his party, I will immediately turn in my 30 year old NRA lifetime membership (plus endowment status), and the NRA will never get another single penny from me. Ever again.

I'm currently writing a letter to the NRA to make damn sure they know this, so they don't get wobbly in their pressure on Bush and the Republicans to appoint a pro Second Ammendment justice to the Supreme Court. I urge every other NRA member here (or just plain pro Second Ammendment) to do the same.
