9th Circuit. Right. Why don't they stick to cases they are more familiar with. Like the right to bugger your fellow man in a gay bathhouse.

[Mr. Lucky]

...which right they, doubtless, do believe can be found somewhere in the Constitution.

[Bluntpoint]

Well, I am sure they will follow precedent and declare it a "collective" right. They do like to bugger in a crowded tub.

[Constitutional Patriot]

Don't panic. Most of what the freak-show circuit hands down usually gets overturned upon presentation to the USSC. The 9th circuit is a bastion of left wing activist judges. These are the dirtbags who feel they can dismantle our constitution via judicial action. I would love to see W put a Scalia-minded justice in their court!!

Judge Reinhardt

Enough said.

Is it true that at the beginning of each session, the court recites the words to the Village People's YMCA.

That's exactly what these commie bastards at the 9th Circuit did. They cite Miller as reason to assume the bogus and invented assinine collective rights theory. The only good thing about this decision is that sooner or later, the damned US SC will have to consider the 2nd. Oh, and it was that commie bastard Reinhardt who wrote the opinion of the court, the same bastard who decided that God must be removed from the Pledge.

If anyone thinks that tyranny cannot emanate from the stinkin' bench, then this decision among others coming from the 9th Circus must stand as one of the best reasons I know to make sure that the citizens are well-armed. I can only figure that the confiscation orders from the California DOJ will not be far behind. Damn all tyrants to hell.

Which Bill of Rights is this guy reading?!

[Unknown Freeper]

Aren't they the ones who always get smacked down by SCOTUS?

Another dog 'n pony show at the 9th Circus.

There's now a circuit split on this issue. Which makes the matter ripe for Supreme Court consideration.

[ApesForEvolution]

These people are obviously derelict in their oathes and need to be removed. What a bunch of maroons. This essentially means that all of their rulings are void and unenforcable.

[Sender]

I can't believe Reinhardt's reasoning...they make a big deal out of the wording that says "keep and bear arms" instead of "own and possess arms" as if the two are completely different concepts. Reinhardt could dissect the Golden Rule and conclude that it endorses backstabbing.

[aristeides]

Speaking of Judge Reinhardt, the panel in the Newdow Pledge of Allegiance case (which includes Reinhardt) came out with a couple of new opinions yesterday (Dec. 4). They say that Dr. Newdow has standing even though he is not his daughter's custodial parent and even though the custodial parent, the mother, opposes his bringing the suit. They also say the U.S. Senate has no standing in the case.

[Bluntpoint]

The law is corrupt. I used to practice. I could not do it any longer. Judges are buffoons. Most lawyers, plaintiff or defense, rely on the reciprocal bad faith of the other side to make a living.

For most lawyers, there truly is no "justice," there is only "just us."

Hire whores.

[ApesForEvolution]

These tyrants are inviting their own demise.

They can't be this stupid, so they have to be evil.
