"Not to split hairs ('cause what you posted was good stuff), but wasn't the ban on PBA struck down by some whacknut judge?"
Lower courts have very limited powers. Yes, a couple of lower courts have struck it down **temporarily**, but it is still law and could easily be re-instated by SCOTUS when they next take the case up.
More importantly, passage of that law shows progress being made...Conservatism is on the march...on the offensive...so powerful that national lawmakers are catering to our demands for legislation.
In contrast, know-nothings like Farah pretend that Conservatism has done **nothing** but lose ground every day for the past 17 years. What, banned partial birth abortion and cut income taxes 3 times and deployed national missile defenses?! They never heard of it.
Some posters even here on FR cheer on Farah's drivel (if you look at the ones who posted before reading any responses early on in this thread, anyway). That's just ignorance on parade.
Ooooh, ooohh, grunt...Pubbies are as bad as Dems...grunt, grunt...

Yes, a couple of lower courts have struck it down **temporarily** You can't say that it's temporary until the SCOTUS has taken the case and ruled on it. I've seen some truly whacked rulings come from that court lately...not the least of which made it plain that any business can get you kicked off your own land for a song.
Like I said, your list was good...but I can't say I share your optimism in the sagacity of the SCOTUS when it comes to upholding life or liberty.
All that said, yeah...Farah and his end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it routine pretty much jumped the shark a few years ago.
Lower courts have very limited powers. Yes, a couple of lower courts have struck it down **temporarily**, but it is still law and could easily be re-instated by SCOTUS when they next take the case up. Guh...looks like the SCOTUS isn't off to a sterling start here...
Supreme Court Won't Block Suit Against Gun Makers
...that's but one in many reasons I don't have much faith in the robed tyranny of today.
