As far as I can tell, the 2nd is doomed as long as the GOP continues to nominate Catholics to the court.

It was Bush’s “brilliant” pick of Roberts who came out of left field and upheld Obamacare. It was Scalia this week who said that the RKBA can be legislated away.

So I really don’t see any downside to staying home and washing one’s hands of the Republican party, nor any upside to voting for these clowns.

***I agree, but what do you mean by “the 2nd is doomed as long as the GOP continues to nominate Catholics to the court”? What does being catholic have to do with anything?

You prove my point about purity. Justice Scalia made a hypothetical point about legal vulnerabilities to the 2nd amendment. He did not say he would use this vulnerability to attack the 2nd amendment. So you write Scalia off and call him a clown. You do this in part because he is a catholic. He is not pure enough for you. The fact that you do not see an upside in voting for “these clowns” speaks more to you than the ones you condemn.
