The framers anticipated this scenario..
Thats WHY we have the 2nd amendment..
The 2nd amendment was not penned for target practice, hunting or collection of military artifacts..
It was penned to Make revolution LEGAL.. and possible..
That is revolution from a rogue federal government..
The 2nd amendment is not for cowards..
Freedom is only insured by much blood and misery..
Cowardly citizens (Canada, England, Germany, China, Russia) NEED to be controlled by a rogue central government.. and they are..
Which is why our would-be "rulers" want it DEAD ASAP.
But it's not gonna happen. Not even with Sotomayor on the bench, or any other wholly unqualified nominee that Obama might appoint in the future. If the Supreme Court will not defend the Constitution, then the Court would just be another enemy of the people. Chief Justice Roberts, Associate Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Kennedy — my apologies to you, sirs, for saying as much. But if the Court betrays the American people by gutting the Constitution over your objections, the Court collectively (if only by the slimmest of majorities) will have shown itself to be an enemy of our system of liberty under law with equal justice for all. And therefore, an enemy of the people.
Truly I hope there are things that can be done before we have to resort to the (necessary and constitutional) expediency of armed defense against the encroachments of tyranny.
Here's an idea: There's a fine old American custom that might be due for a revival right about now. It's called "tarring and feathering and running [the miscreant] out of town on a rail." I imagine this would only have to be done a couple-few times to get the point across....
Could we please start with Nancy Pelosi???
