Mentioned "hunting" and "target practice" as legitimate uses for a gun, as long as the state decides you can have one. Not one word on self-defense.
They fear the second amendment...as any tyrant wann-be well should.
When government fears the people you have liberty, when people fear the government you have tyranny.
The 2nd amendment keeps the government in check.
Molon Labe!
People like Obama and his ilk understand this and they want to ultimately find a way to neuter and defang the 2nd amendment precisely because they want total control.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
The one thing Libtards have right is you have to work from inside the system to change it. Problem is there are too many slimey liberal lawyers looking to make a buck off of “victimized” minorities and not enough conservative ones that believe in equal protection under the law. The former looks at the profession purely from a self enriching viewpoint and the latter as a civic duty with opportunity to serve the people (not to say they can’t make money the honest way).
From Sotomayor. I agree with Heller in that the 2nd Amendment applies to the federal government, not the states. Guns are ok for hunting and target shooting as long as the states allow it. Blah, Blah, Blah.
roger that...
THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. What part of that don’t you understand, oh wise Latina?

Good job for harrassing your Congress critters....soap box, ballot box, and cartridge box.
Let's hope we don't have to use the third.
“wise Latina woman”
Not only was the “wise latina woman” statement racist, it was also egotistical. Anyone who dares to call themselves wise is a fool.
I bet she has an armed security detail.
Bumper sticker from Newt's site:
Maybe the 1st ammendment???
She is a bald-faced liar and is starting to trip over her pile of lies. Good TV. Too bad the Dems are all voting for her.
They can “seem” to be against her all day but it has no effect until they let the senators know that a vote for her IS going to be recorded as an anti-gun vote.
That is the only club they have to hold over the senators heads.
She’s correct.
“Had the people of the several States, or any of them, required changes in their Constitutions, had they required additional safeguards to liberty from the apprehended encroachments of their particular governments, the remedy was in their own hands, and could have been applied by themselves. A convention could have been assembled by the discontented State, and the required improvements could have been made by itself. The unwieldy and cumbrous machinery of procuring a recommendation from two-thirds of Congress and the assent of three-fourths of their sister States could never have occurred to any human being as a mode of doing that which might be effected by the State itself. Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the State governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original Constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had Congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the Constitutions of the several States by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language.”
“But it is universally understood, it is a part of the history of the day, that the great revolution which established the Constitution of the United States was not effected without immense opposition. Serious fears were extensively entertained that those powers which the patriot statesmen who then watched over the interests of our country deemed essential to union, and to the attainment of those invaluable objects for which union was sought, might be exercised in a manner dangerous to liberty. In almost every convention by which the Constitution was adopted, amendments to guard against the abuse of power were recommended. These amendments demanded security against the apprehended encroachments of the General Government — not against those of the local governments. In compliance with a sentiment thus generally expressed, to quiet fears thus extensively entertained, amendments were proposed by the required majority in Congress and adopted by the States. These amendments contain no expression indicating an intention to apply them to the State governments. This court cannot so apply them.”

If she is confirmed after this there is no hope for the republicans. How about a new party with Palin, JC Watts, Nugent and Huckabee leading the way?
Flame away I don’t care but enough is enough with both political parties.
He was a part time, adjunct instructor. They're a dime a dozen and consist of anybody the first-year dean can rope in to assist for free or for a very small 'honorarium'. I've done it myself, to help out a friend. It looks good on your resume if people don't understand exactly what you were doing.
Out of respect for the confirmation process:

She is Obama in an ugly dress.
