I think Heller may have done more to set president than most imagine. USSC cases on the 2nd ammendment are very rare. We may not see another for 50 years.

The 9th Circuit Court just incorporated the Second Amendment as an individual right in the Nordyke decision. The Supreme Court will be asked to grant cert to incorporate the Second Amendment next term, IMHO. Stare decisis no longer prevails. Circuit courts are now in conflict, probably one of the most common reasons that they take a case.

P.S. Obama is only able to replace liberal geezers barring unforeseen circumstances. You wanted precedent, not president.

Sound like you know your legalese onions to me, neverdem.
Care to xlate the above into lay terms one may understand? :^)

If I had to guess what you've said correctly? It sounds like you're asserting the 2nd has been made *official* ergo untouchable from here on out?
Thought all the amendments were in stone; but, if I'm correct you prove my point insofar as these guys changing, defining, and redefining ordinary words, at will.

If it's so?
I ---personally-- could never again trust the new breed of lawyer to correctly interpret our Constitution, as written. Not trying to pull some kind of hare brained shenanigans to suit whatever the zeitgeist agenda of the time regardless what the founders wrote, supposedly for all time.

Sorry, my friend.
Too hand shy now and *I* believe justly so.
I mean there are precedents, y'know. {g}

BTW did you read THIS?
Please, your opin on the implication(s)?

While incrementalism's totally a domain of the left, a strategy for subverting? And while the pathetic RINO weasel from SC sponsored it? Leftists will break a leg to jump on board.
Just saying.

"P.S. Obama is only able to replace liberal geezers barring unforeseen circumstances. You wanted precedent, not president."

*I* wrote that, or, the east1234 individual?
While I *do* know the difference & consciously try to catch these tricky curiosities of the English lexicon?
The spell checker knows not nor cares. LOL
