Just remember that BOTH parties are traitors to the Constitution. Conservatives hate the 4th Amendment, for example.
As you say, Both parties hate the 4th amendment and the 1st when it doesn't suit their purposes.. and the 5th.. and the 10th...
Agreed!
Depends on which conservatives you talk about. I'd say over time, conservatives have a much better record of protecting constitutional rights, of course their are many notable exceptions.
Political parties are by their very nature counterproductive to a healthy democracy.
Second protects the Fourth.
Second protects
the Fourththe constitution.
FTFY
Except Rand of course :)
Well, individuals may or may not be traitors, but collectively, many of the people in these parties do betray the principles of the Constitution. They vote for laws that allow civil forfeiture without due process or to take away guns or to limit free speech to "Free Speech Zones" around Federal buildings.
typical maryland politician
That pesky highest law of the United States of America that forbids the government from becoming tyrannical.
I hate that woman so badly. And she supposedly represents me.
yeah, don't give her that legal jargon that says no infringments. It gets in the way of legislation!
So basically they want the justices to ignore the facts and make their ruling on hoopla and hyperbole? Tell me again how the Democrats are the party of the little people?
Pesky fact: The conservative wing of the Supreme Court ruled, I quote "Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited"
I do agree it is obviously limited...prisoners in jail do not have the right to have a gun in their cell.
There needs to be a good appeal process before enacting that though
And lets be real here, the mentally ill and the chronically criminal should be restricted from purchasing weapons.
First define "mentally ill" and "chronically criminal" before I argue with you.
That is a slippery slope.
Especially with Trump planning to build a wall around the country.
Quoting out of context, and incompletely does not make your statement correct. The assumption that people use is that the "not unlimited" means what you want it to mean. It does not, and the same ruling explains it.
Original quote, with context:(PDF Warning
Clarified further:
And Explained FULLY:
The Supreme court is clear, that the right to small arms (rifles and hand guns), regardless of the type or usefulness against a tank or bomber, is protected.
Don't post incomplete quotes, they don't mean what you think they mean.
Oh and your "source" (which is a google search showing your statement) is not valid as a collection of ignorant blogs postings is not worth anymore than a single ignorant blog posting.
In Short, there is no FACT in what you posted.
EDIT: Formatting
Though it is fact that literally thousands of gun crime cases have been tried in lower courts since Heller established an individual right to a gun and virtually all of them have failed. You can count the ones that won on the fingers of a single hand.
When Scalia wrote his "nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions..." escape clause into Heller it had the effect of telling lower courts that virtually every existing type of longstanding gun law was fine and did not violate the the 2A.
WTF? Gun Crime cases...using Heller? Thousands? a Fact?
You really are making shit up as you go to suit your own narrative.
Since you said "thousands", I will take your bet. Name me 100 gun crime cases that are using Heller as a defense. You said "thousands", and you said "gun crime cases", and you said "it is a fact". Actually, name me 50. I will settle for 20, but no less. That is after all
.02%(EDIT: Been drinking meant:) 2% of only 1 thousand, and you claim to be stating a fact of "Thousands", with and "s".I see that you are still not a lawyer, and still have no idea what you are talking about, so let's just start with your "It's a fact" gun crime cases, and then we can talk about what Scalia did or didn't do.
Well, it's a good thing that's their opinion and not fact. So..
Per the Constitution Article III, the Supreme Court's opinion is fact.
Pesky fact: that statement is itself a constitutional argument.
