Who would have thought 200 years ago that we'd even be arguing this? Insane.

No kidding. Since the Warren court, judges have wrapped politically based decisions in various penumbras and emanations of made up and lately, international or even Nigerian law. Then they get angry when we criticize them as we would any other pol.

Yep! A century from now, a Chinese historian will write a book on the death of the West, and in the chapter on America we'll read about how a leftist Supreme Court circa 2060 eradicated the final surviving portion of the Bill of Rights, on the grounds that the BOR defenders failed to provide a "compelling interest" for retaining it.

Quite right, it's disgusting that our own judicirary has no pride, integrity, or commitment regarding the sovergnty of the United States of America.

I can only imagine how they could use this in their decision-making process, especially in regards to 'intrepreting' our Constitution to find more rights not explicitly mentioned.

Sometimes one really wishes that Tar-and-Feathering was a real option.
