AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, Maha-Rushie! America's Anchorman, Truth Detector, Doctor of Democracy, and Chief of the Patriotism Police. He is the man who runs America. He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do--That's host. Get ready to what you were born to do--That's listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
NEEDS REPEATING!!!
The money quote from Scalia;
“But the enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table. These include the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home. Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our Nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security, and where gun violence is a serious problem. That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.
We affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
It is so ordered.”
The only handguns left in DC belonged to the criminals.
Omama stepped on his Johnson for sure!
Rush wasn’t kidding. She is a babe.
Hey Obama! The second amendment says “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” That means that local governments CANNOT limit our ownership of guns.
It was tough enough for me to get through to Quinn this morning, let alone Rush.
Brillant statement. Thank you.
I was thinking along those lines, but didn't know how to put it in words.
The state, local fights are just beginning.
DANG! I missed Rush talking about the IN-BEDDED Reporter.
What did he say?
Gotta head to meeting...ya’all have a good one!
Gotta love it. My range is going to be noisy this evening.
Rush is hitting on all cylinders today. This talk on todays arguments about “rights” is dead on.
Speaks. very. slowly, as if to say, I'm smarter than you!
But that's only cus' he's a frickin' imbecile! Fell off the law school short bus!
There were 143 gun-related murders in Washington
last year, compared with 135 in 1976, when the
handgun ban was enacted.
In other words the number of murders WENT UP after
the gun ban was imposed. Once again they think they
can say anything (lie), and we are too stupid to
figure it out.
We’re ahead of the curve on that issue....
“IT’S NOW A CRIME in Oklahoma to prevent anyone other than a convicted felon from bringing a concealed gun into any parking facility. The gun must be kept in the gun owner’s vehicle.”
And Obama seems to think gun rights are only about “sportsmen.”
As TGO points out, the 2nd Amendment has nothing whatever to do with hunting.
Get Obama off his prepared remarks, he’s nothing but double-talk and empty promises. The Messiah is nothing but a False Prophet.
Well, how dangerous can Iraq be if a CBS reporter went over there and had TWO affairs! He’s laughing his head off saying that today is really a bad day for libs. First the SCOTUS decision and then this.
HA!
CHECKMATE!
So if the DC gun laws keep guns out the hands of criminals, by that logic, all residents of DC are criminals.
There goes the reputations of another state.
"We know of no other enumerated constitutional right whose core protection has been subjected to a freestanding 'interest-balancing' approach. The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government—even the Third Branch of Government—the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon. A constitutional guarantee subject to future judges’ assessments of its usefulness is no constitutional guarantee at all. Constitutional rights are enshrined with the scope they were understood to have when the people adopted them, whether or not future legislatures or (yes) even future judges think that scope too broad.
