If Commerce Clause overrides the Second Amendment, the federal government is no longer one of limited powers and enumerated powers.

Her argument is based on “fail to address binding precedents”, that past decisions of the court override the plain text and meaning of the Constitution.

Because of course she is smarter than a majority of the supreme court justices. But then I can believe that for several of them, especially the last one.

The Commerce clause is historically one of the most abused clauses in the Constitution. Authoritarians have used it, along with the taxing power, repeatedly in their assault on freedom.

The whole point of including the Bill of Rights as amendments was to head off such reasoning.

If Commerce Clause overrides the Second Amendment, the federal government is no longer one of limited powers and enumerated powers.

If the Commerce Clause (as currently interpreted) which means any action (OR INACTION) that "may" affect commerce, in any way, is under the jurisdiction of the Feds, then you are correct. But, if that is correct, then the Feds have NEVER had limited or enumerated powers!

However, if the Commerce Clause was actually used as it was intended, to only give the Feds control of interstate and international commerce conditions, then no...they would still be limited. The problem is NOT the Commerce Clause, the PROBLEM is the bovine flop SCOTUS interpretation that gave the Feds complete control of our entire economic system, down to you and me bartering over a gallon of milk in exchange for a dozen eggs. THAT is the problem.

One of those dissenting was Judge Janet Richards Roth, appointed to the Third Circuit by George H. W. Bush in 1991. She was born in 1935 and started her governmental career working as a typist and administrative assistant in the Foreign Service of the U.S. Department of State in 1956. She graduated from Harvard Law School in 1965. Judge Roth assumed senior status on May 31, 2006. She is a few days short of her 88th birthday (June 16).

A couple of points. 1.) A Bush appointment. 2.) Never worked a real job in her life. 3.) Harvard Law grad.

The good news, 4.) She will soon die and burn for an eternity in hell.

"based on Progressive philosophy, the Commerce Clause overrides the Bill of Rights."

As a free American, (if there still is such a thing.) living in America my whole life, one who served this nation in time of war, I can say this all honesty and candor.. I don't give a rat's rear end what "Progressive philosophy" has to say about anything.! And I feel pretty much the same about Judge Janet Richards Roth...

Our rights come from God.! Nowadays what comes out of our, so called, government is a soup full of lies, ridiculous dictates, faggot insanity and a large helping of socialist crap..!

I say we flush it, clean them out like rats in the barn, and start over..

[SMARTY]

I call BS on that! The BOR is the bedrock of American government.

Every and ALL policies, laws, legislation, etc. hinge on the unambiguous and unequivocal adherence to the BOR!!! Deviate from the book at your own peril.

She’s 88 and showing signs of senility.

[DesertRhino]

88 year old senile women should never be allowed to exercise power over society.

The 2nd is a GOD given right, not subject to Court's or “ Democracy. “

[Salohcin]

This interpretation has no logical basis. Even if the Commerce Clause grants the Federal government such broad powers, which it doesn’t, the Bill of Rights are amendments to the Constitution and as such they override anything in the original text.
