Tried posting, but nothing showed up. Is it a ‘review thing’?
This issue should never have gone to the SCOTUS. Their agreement to hear the case gives both sides the appearance of having merit. No argument that restricts the right of an individual to defend him or herself has merit.
[i]”Geez! People are going nuts over a decision to HEAR A CASE! Imagine what will happen where there’s an ACTUAL DECISION IN THE CASE!!”[/i]
Anytime the SCOTUS agrees to hear a case, it gives more than just and impression that the arguments on both sides are somehow legitimate. It suggests that there is [i]merit[/i] to both as well.
In this case, nothing merits taking away the individual’s right to defend themselves.
