"The liberal justices have backed themselves into a 14th amendment 'corner'."I can't agree. Where in the 14th Amendment does it give a rational excuse for abortion? Where does it mention abortion at all? Yet this is the primary Amendment used to justify the Roe v. Wade atrocity.
Under the Full Faith and Credit clause, CCW reciprocity should be the law of the land in every state and territory in the country. But that's not the way it works, is it? In fact, as we have so trustingly accepted ever since 1803 with Marbury v. Madison, the US Constitution means whatever the currently sitting court thinks it means. In which case we are screwed, royally.....

RIGHT NOW there is a case that is pending review brought by some well meaning folks in California and represented by a real powerhouse pro 2nd Amendment attorney named Stephen Halbrooke. I don't care how good and how dedicated he is for this issue. The timing is wrong.
-exSoldier-
The "timing" could be perfect.
-- The liberal justices have backed themselves into a 14th amendment 'corner'.
The 14th was ratified, in large part, to defend the RKBAs of freed slaves from the violations of the post war southern states.
-- The 14th told these states in no uncertain terms that they could not infringe upon our individual rights, without due process, - IE without "compelling state interests", ~exactly~ as this liberal court has recently held..
Thus, they are hoisted on their own logic on states prohibiting phony look alike 'assault weapons'.
- And also on the 14ths equal protection/immunity clauses..
The time is ripe, imo. Read this:

Abortion, like sex, is protected by our general unenumerated rights. -- Words like Life/Liberty/Property, cover a lot of specific rights.
Like a right to be left alone in the privacy of your bedroom, or your gunroom.

Equal protection under the 14th will also apply to CCW.
And, - you're dead wrong on the Marbury decision, -- the last sentence of which says that laws repugnant to our constitution are void.
This hardly establishes that the "US Constitution means whatever the currently sitting court thinks it means."
