Thanks for posting! I’m sorry but when the SCOTUS says abortion is OK and Porn is art, covered by free speech, I just can’t get worked up over dog fight videos....I love animals but I’ll get worked up over the doggie fights when the unborn are recognized as Americans with all rights of those living outside the womb.
The First says "shall make no law..." What law are they talking about? Can't these people read?
What about a promised review of McCain-Feingold?
The Heller case determined the 2A to be an individual right, not a collective one, but was directed to the feds thru the city of DC. This current challenge will determine whether the 2A RIGHT prohibits states/locals from infringement.
Once it is recognized that the 2A is protected from fed/state and local laws, we can then move forward and define exactly what it means to “not infringe” this right.
Every case that gets to the SCOTUS is major.As few as 5 out of 9 unelected people get to make THE LAW OF THE LAND!
That's not true at all. Of course it does so apply. That was the Founder's intent. Obscured for a while as the States for all practical purposes reneged judicially on that assent they gave in ratifying the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
That cowardly reneging was resolved in Civil War, and patched up (not so well, but patched anyway) with the post Civil War amendments, specifically the 14th. The 14th causes problems because it was trying to fix something that was broken in the original charter, but something that broke because of some States and the Judiciary dishonored it.
Nevertheless the stated purpose of the 14th was do allow the freed to defend themselves not just in process of law, but by means of all the rights of freemen including the right to bearing arms in self-defense.
Animal cruelty videos may be ruled unconstitutional? Then the PETAmaniacs can sue any ad that depicts meat, and might win. Brave new world.
