Sixty years ago, who would have guessed that the SCOTUS would decide whether or not an American has the right to self-defense with a firearm.

You are certainly one who "get's it."

It's the long perspective that gives you that wisdom.

Day-to-day, poll-to-poll, Americans are blind to how far we've fallen from original intent.

Even today....the mere fact that this thread exists.....eagerly awaiting to be told what our God given rights actually are by an unelected oligarchy...

Whether Scalia or Ginsburg write the opinion, they're still writing a CONTROLLING opinion on our basic rights. Good or bad outcome, it's a sad day.

Whether Scalia or Ginsburg write the opinion, they're still writing a CONTROLLING opinion on our basic rights. Good or bad outcome, it's a sad day.

Exactly! SCOTUS decisions have begun to override law. After today, 2A is not the last word, the Court's decision is. On whatever the Court opines, it's the Court that prevails now, not the Constitution.
