The ironic thing is that if Wilson had used the firearm for criminal purposes he would probably have gotten more lenient treatment.

We really need a Supreme Court that just throws all gun control laws in the dumpster all across the country. That would be constitutionally correct. I actually think we could be close. Need the right case and maybe 1 or 2 more good Trump appointments.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia famously said, “The Constitution is not a living document. It is dead, dead, dead”. Scalia made this statement to a group of law school graduates in Dallas, Texas.

He spoke of schoolchildren coming to visit the Supreme Court and calling the Constitution a “living document.”

“It’s not a living document. It’s dead, dead, dead,” he said.

The “spirit of aloha” burnt down Maui. The “spirit of aloha” is the belief that pagan spirits exist. The “spirit of aloha” is the belief in Hawaiian spiritual superiority over white people.

Hawaii has got to go. It’s turned into another Marxist, third world freeloader state. A bunch of far left socialists living off the taxpayers from the other 49 states. (56 to all you Barry Soetoro fans out there.) Puerto Rico should not even be allowed to be considered for statehood until we get rid of Hawaii and all of it’s kiss azz Feral “judges”.

Today is the 233rd anniversary of our Bill of Rights.

America is great because America is good. When America stops being good America will cease being great.

The USSCt should really REALLY FOR CERTAIN declare all infringements of Americans’ 2A rights unconstitutional— exactly as our Constitution reads and totally how our Republic’s founders intended.

The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the "supreme Law of the Land" and take priority over any conflicting state laws

This principle applies to all states, including Hawaii, and means that federal law generally takes precedence over state law when there is a conflict

Federal Preemption

The doctrine of federal preemption, derived from the Supremacy Clause, holds that federal law supersedes state law in areas where they conflict

This principle applies regardless of whether the conflicting laws come from legislatures, courts, administrative agencies, or constitutions

The communist Red Chinese are wondering what to do:
Take Taiwan ("they don't like us") or Hawaii ("they like us")?

The Hawaii Supreme Court’s actions are not an isolated incident, but part of a broader progressive effort to rewrite the Constitution by ignoring it. Whether through judicial activism, selective enforcement of federal law, or outright defiance of Supreme Court precedent, this trend is a grave threat to constitutional governance. Advocates for liberty must remain vigilant.

Ignoring or "working around" the Constitution is a fundamental part of Progressive philosophy. From the beginning of Progressive philosophy in the 1880's, It has always included the theme that the Constitution was outdated, limited government was a bad idea, and ways had to be found to work around or ignore Constitutional limits on governmental power.

Pam Bondi is going to have an opportunity to travel to Hawaii to supervise quite a few deprivation of rights cases.

Convictions are probably quite possible in Hawaii given the number of active and retired military people.

My 95 year old mother used to say Hawaii isn’t really part of the United States. 😆

The SCOTUS' answer to this is simple, direct and has historical precedent. They need to impose pre-clearance on Hawaii.

That is, they need to rule that because of the explicit BAD FAITH of the Hawaii Supreme Court, from now on the state of Hawaii is stripped of its power to regulate firearms at all and must get pre-clearance from the federal courts anytime it wishes to enact ANY firearms regulations AT ALL.

The last time the federal courts found that states were acting in bad faith to deny Americans their constitutional rights, that is exactly what they did. OK. Just impose the same penalty. Leftists will wail and scream and moan.....but they won't try it again lest more blue shitholes be stripped of their power to regulate firearms at all without preclearance from the federal courts as well.

“The Constitution is not a living document — it is a legal document.”

To me it depends on what is meant by a "living document". To liberal judges I think it means "to hell with the Constitution, I'll rule the way I think it should be".

But I consider it a "living document" in that the Founding Fathers gave us way to change the Constitution.
