I didn't think a Bushcheerleaderbot would answer you. I guess the answer is too difficult for them to accept.

But, here goes again. Maybe someone will answer:

Another question for the Bushcheerleaderbots:

What would your reaction be if a Solicitor General under a Democrat Administration rewrote the Constitution to say that the 2nd Amendment guarantee of the right to keep and bare arms was "subject to reasonable restrictions designed to prevent possession by unfit persons or to restrict the possession of types of firearms that are particularly suited to criminal misuse"?

Your question is nonsensical. The Solicitor General doesn't "re-write" the Constitution when he files an opinion with the Supreme Court on a case. Ted Olson's comments on the scope or intent of the 2nd Amendment expressed the Bush Administration's position on this legal question. If a Demo Administration choose to express differently, it still wouldn't be "re-writing" the Constitution.

Glad you asked even though I'm NOT a Bushie.

My reaction is pretty much the same with the exception being I'm not gonna throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Build on strengths, work to eliminate weaknesses.

Make it known that you object, but don't feed the opposition.

We have the ablility to influence the Bush administration by way of threatening our support and pointing to real conservative leadership.. Name one member of a democrat administration that we could influence.
