From the article: "Thomas rejected Bean's argument that the government's inability to act amounted to a denial of his request."

This is a disappointment of extreme magnitude.

Our government takes in trillions of dollars in taxes and is suffering from no "inability" to act. They have been proscribed by a lack of specific Congressional funding which is intended to have the observed consequences. For Thomas to allow such an Orwellian decision is a surprise to me. I will have to read the decision in great detail but I am not encouraged by how this is being reported.

I had hoped that the Supreme Court would find that the right to keep and bear arms does not stop at our borders. Those who distribute Bibles in China risk having the US Supreme Court helping China to punish such behavior.

The rights with which we are endowed by our Creator are not stamped "Made in America." The right to self-defense and the right to overthrow a tyrannical government are the rights of people everywhere and not just in the US.

The SC has been heading in a Orwellian direction since the 1930's...
