This is a worthy cause to invest some money in. I am going to chip in some money myself to support our right to keep and bear arms.

I wonder why the Supreme Court or other courts have never reviewed the US Militia laws thoroughly before they render decisions on this garbage.
If they did, there would be NO arguement about this.
According to Constitutional and statute law , each American male citizen between 18-45 is a member of the Unorganized militia of the United States and the state they reside in( general militia). The men basically belong to two unorganized militias, one at state level and one federal level. A few exceptions are made for local officials and women.
Under the shared responsibility clause of the Constitution, when the President announces a call for volunteers to serve in the militia to confront a threat, the states must make the amount of men available to the federal government requested, and train them as military units. The Federal government equips them.
States can draft men to serve in the Militia. They even did so in the Civil war. This is in addition to the ability of the federal military services to draft men as well. In some states, state draft laws are still on the books to support their militias if needed.
The militia then becomes a part of the US militia which is seperate from the US militay forces. They have seperate disciplinary procedures, seperate pay procedures, and militia benefits are different too.
Before the advent of liberalism, a well regulated militia meant that it was recognized as a component of the State military forces under the command of the Governor, adhered to rules of military discipline, and wasnt an armed mob.
Militia officers were commissioned by the Governor, and enlisted were regulated by state laws.
The National Guard is the organized militia, not the unorganized militia. Completely seperate animals.
To see exactly what I am talking about, review your states laws about "State Defense Forces, State Guards, or State Militias." In most states, except the most liberal, these laws still exist to support the shared responsibility of states to supply troops to the US government in case of
war or insurrection.
Of course if you are a liberal socialist, you do everything you can to subvert national readiness and take away individual freedoms while you preach diversity.

I don't believe this is the time to advance a suit to the Supreme Court until at least one of the leftist Justices is replaced. It's a big mistake to gamble on a 5 to 4 ruling.
We waited forty years and I think we can wait just a little longer.

SCOTUS can read our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our Article II of our Bill of Rights, tea leaves, and citizens' cold eyes to the soul. Our God given, Constitutionally affirrmed right to keep and bear arms shall return to we, the people, because blackrobes with the American fascist class don't have the manpower to Ruby Ridge - Waco the entire nation and keep their own back gates closed.

It seems odd to me that the gun grabbers don't understand that they promote civil war.
The millions of gun owners in this country will not give up their firearms without a literal fight. Blood would flow deeply in the streets.
Do they understand that? Do they understand that the well-armed will defeat the unarmed in such a conflict?
Their inability to grasp the situation is astounding.

bump for a conservative Supreme Court
Dear President Bush, With the Surpeme Court session getting ready to close, it may well be time for perhaps the most important domestic decision of your presidency: the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice(s). The main reason why I supported you in 2000 and why I wanted Daschle out of power in 02 (and 04) has to do with the courts. I want America courts to interpret law, not write law. During your presidential campaign you said Thomas and Scalia were your two model justices. Those are excellent models. The High Court needs more like them. Clarence Thomas recently said to students that the tough cases were when what he wanted to do was different from what the law said. And he goes by the law. This should be a model philosophy for our justices. Your father, President Bush lost his reelection campaign for 3 main reasosn, as far as I can see. 1. he broke the no new taxes pledge 2. David Souter 3. Clinton convinced people we were in a Bush recession (which we had already come out of by the time Clinton was getting sworn in)
I urge you to learn from all three of these: 1. on taxes, you're doing great. Awesome job on the tax cut. 2. good job so far on judicial appointments. I want to see more of a fight for Estrada, Owen, and Pickering, but I commend you on your nominations. 3. by staying engaged in the economic debate you'll serve yourself well
I have been thoroughly impressed with your handling of al Queida, Iraq, and terrorism. You have inspired confidence and have shown great leadership.
But I want to remind you that your Supreme Court pick(s) will be with us LONG after you have departed office. I urge you to avoid the tempation to find a "compromise" pick. Go for a Scalia or Thomas. Don't go for an O'Connor or Kennedy. To be specific, get someone who is pro-life. Roe v Wade is one of the worst court decisions I know of, and it's the perfect example of unrestrained judicial power.
I know the temptation will be tremendous on you to nominate a moderate. But remember who your true supporters are. I am not a important leader or politician. I am "simply" a citizen who has been an enthusiatic supporter of you. I am willing to accept compromise in many areas of government but I will watch your Court nomiantions extremely closely. What the Senate Dems are doing right now is disgusting, but as the President you have the bully pulpit to stop it. Democrats will back down if you turn up serious heat on them.
Moreover, I think public opinion is shifting towards the pro-life position. Dems will want you to nominate a moderate, but almost all will vote against you anyways. Pro-choice Repubs will likely still vote for you if you nominate a Scalia, after all, you campaigned on it. So Mr. President, I urge you to stick with your campaign statements and nominate justices who believe in judicial restraint, like Scalia and Thomas.
Happy Memorial Day and may God bless you and your family.
