On Thursday, Dec. 17, Justice Ginsburg spoke at a luncheon of the Harvard Club of Washington, D.C.

And that is why I am very nervous about any 2nd amendment cases going to the courts.
We are one ruling away from a total gun ban.

Justice Ginsburg: "Future Wiser" Court may eventually overrule Heller. Gosh, what a revelation as a prelude to revolution.
D@mn 2nd is just too much of a late comer to hold any relevancy to dictation in government.

Whatever happened to
stare decisis?
Without it, the rule of law is a joke, it all a matter of naked political power.
