Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, made the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the McDonald v. City of Chicago case that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms to citizens in all 50 states.
"This is a critical victory for the Constitution and the freedom guaranteed by the Second Amendment for individual Americans to keep and bear arms," said Senator DeMint. "Our freedoms have been under attack by big government liberals for decades, but today the Supreme Court rightly based their decision on the Constitution and the law, not personal opinions.
"This is also an important reminder that Supreme Court justices must have an unwavering dedication to our Constitution and rule of law. In fact, current Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, as a Supreme Court law clerk in 1987, wrote that she was not 'sympathetic' to a man who argued for his Second Amendment right to bear arms."
"It's also disappointing that Solicitor General Kagan, after taking an oath to defend the Constitution, declined to submit a brief in defense of Second Amendment rights in such a clear case where American freedoms were being threatened," said Senator DeMint.

Works for me.
I just hope they both run. We are going to get inundated with RINOs a-runnin.
Certainly works for me, too!
DeMint ping
Yeah but thanks to stupid liberals it took us what... 230 plus years to win it.
You and Demint are delusional.
Hey dumbnuts, did the SCOTUS rule correctly today or not.
Cherish the victory now, because Liberals don't give up that easily.
I've been a strong Hunter advocate since '08; and a Hunter/DeMint/Hunter ticket would be a good one.
LOL. Still, Greene is far more qualified to be Senator or President than the marxist community organizing illegal alien we have now.
Honestly don’t know why Duncan didn’t get more traction. Money I assume. Should he spend the bucks on a good media strategist cause, unfortunately that is how the game is won these days?
The right to keep and bear arms is protected by shooting the bastards who come to take them, just like at Concord.
More of us than they are.
(Yes, I know it is usually more of them than you are - watch your neighbor’s back.)
The left doesn’t see it the way Constitutionalists like myself see the U.S. Constitution. They see it as something that can be bent and shaped and changed and done away with. The U.S. Constitution by it’s own definition is the “Supreme Law of The Land” and any law that does not conform to the Constitution as it is written, is to be thrown out as “unconstitutional”.

Jim is running for reelection this November. If you like his philosophy, consider tossing him some bucks.
“did the SCOTUS rule correctly”
No, one who is insignificant (pissant definition), they didn’t; they left too many openings for Daley and other gun control freaks to continue to place roadblocks to gun ownership, type of guns, possession issues, et. al.
Heller was ruled on two years ago. The link showed you how ineffective it has been. You are just happy your boy Demint finally came out of his no attack Obozo bunker and said anything at all. Greene, his opponent, is getting more press than him. When, and if, he ever steps up to the plate, we’ll see if he can hit it out of the park. Silence doesn’t exhibit leadership.
Note the link regarding Demint’s effectiveness - less than Lindsay Graham, who by the way also gets 10x more press than Demint. The AZ governor is a better leader than him.

Right now, his potential is a figment of your imagination!
You p-whipped little pansy. I almost feel sorry for you.
Ran out of DemCrap talking points, huh?
If Hunter and DeMInt are dem talking points then your head is so far up your arse even Preparation H won’t help.
I’ve never seen a more p-whipped punk.
