FWIW John Locke is one of my hero's, I have read every one of his treatists on the 2nd amendndment. I am a member of the NRA and do not even own a gun. I feel the same about the 1st amendment and all the rest. I just have this nasty habit of looking at the big picture, in the political landscape. I can understand your concern and angst over this decision, but the accusation of me being gleeful because I think it will get Bush reelected is beyond the pale.

Can you please paint the picture that's bigger than the Constitution? Thanks.

From your #9:

I remember the political climate at the time. President Bush was under constant attack. I admit that I breathed a collective sigh of relief when he signed the damn thing.

Yes, people were saying mean things.

Whew! Glad that's over.

How many Amendments are left?
