OLYMPIA, Wash. -- The state Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a city's restrictions on a gun show, but dissenters said the majority's "Humpty-Dumptyism" manages to circumvent state law that forbids cities from regulating gun shows on city property.

In a 6-3 ruling, the court rejected complaints that the city of Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula ruined a gun show when the police chief imposed a number of restrictions.

Tyrants in robes.

I don't see how federals who say power lies in the hands of locals are tyrants.

The statute means what it says. City of Sequim lacked authority to regulate PSNPA's gun show. ... Only the majority's linguistic somersaults make it mean the opposite of what it says."

It is sad that such simple, plain text can be so misconstrued. Not surprising however. I am so angry that I had to delete my first thoughts as I would be banned.

To miscontrue is to make a mistake. This was no mistake.

Your right. I am so sick of this crap my head is about to explode.

This is an inevitable consequence of continuous obsequity towards the courts, aided and abbetted by one political faction (the left) that feels perfectly free to impose it's own law via the judiciary even if it can't win an election.

It used to be they had enough fear of the people to couch their nonsense in high-falutin 'penumbras', but now their contempt is open and has no need for a disguise.

Our ancestors would have introduced these 'judges' to Mr. Tar, Mr. Feathers and Mr. Rail, but we don't have the spine to be free men any longer.
