Scalia's jurisprudence is entirely outcome-based resting on a foundation of modern social conservative principles. He pulls all that strict constructionist bullshit (as though the Founders were all a bunch of damn Miss Cleos who could see the future for the next 300 years) and condescends to anyone who dare follow Marbury v. Madison by interpreting the law, that is until a strict reading doesn't get him the outcome he wants. For example, the federal government only has the right to regulate INTERstate commerce because that's all the Constitution says. Unless the question involves medical marijuana, for example, that is entirely contained within a state, at which point he is all up in the business of INTRAstate commerce. Given that, when the Second Amendment comes up, you should fully expect him to be interpreting like he's running alongside Marlee Matlin on an episode of The West Wing. Trust. Thomas is nuts, but at least he's consistently nuts. Scalia is just a lying sack of shit disguised as an intellectual. And I will be saying as much on my final exam next week!<BR/><BR/>FYI, my bf made your cornbread casserole Thursday and it was fantabulous!ChristopherMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032361690288998090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-62700056385414124542007-11-25T12:10:00.000-06:002007-11-25T12:10:00.000-06:00Yeah, this one will rival Bush v.

Any sentence so vaguely worded (and punctuated) as Amendment II is Exhibit Number One on how there's no way to have one simple interpretation of most of the Constitution. Once you accept that the document is truly vague almost throughout, and that this is a good thing, it's very hard to take anyone who calls himself a strict constructionist at all seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-86112809239102232032007-11-23T21:27:00.000-06:002007-11-23T21:27:00.000-06:00I like what Ms. Gita has to say about this:http://...I like what Ms. Gita has to say about this:<BR/><BR/>http://blog.myspace.com/gitahandley<BR/><BR/>In a nutshell, why didn't this guy speak up in some other form than a lucrative tell-all book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-26571968237257915622007-11-23T14:41:00.000-06:002007-11-23T14:41:00.000-06:00"armed bears"...ain't that a part of the homosexua..."armed bears"...ain't that a part of the homosexual agenda (/snark).<BR/><BR/>seriously, keith o. is da' bomb! glad you've discovered him. he'll help with the vodka cran induced morning after headaches, too!<BR/><BR/>hope you had a great t'day...my husbear and i had lamb shanks and lentils this year instead o' the traditional oversized gobbler.LiberalDemDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992623693725002000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-3861677811229445422007-11-23T11:49:00.000-06:002007-11-23T11:49:00.000-06:00Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

The history is fascinating.<BR/><BR/>As it turns out, for once the Wikipedia article on the amendment has a lot of good information, particularly about the history surrounding its incorporation into the Bill of Rights and early interpretation. There's a huge fracas going on about the article lead that has prompted a "neutrality dispute" tag, but I tend to take Wiki article leads with a grain of salt anyway...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, here it is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution<BR/><BR/>I'm baring arms right now - wearing a muscle shirt.

So who knows what will go down. <BR/><BR/>If the SCOTUS makes the "wrong" decision (according to the NRA) then they will blame "the liberals" even if 7 out of 9 judges on the bench were appointed by Republicans (1 by Ford, 2 by Reagan, 2 by Bush Sr, 2 by Clinton, and 2 by Junior). So yea, it will be the "liberals" fault. <BR/><BR/>And of course, the Republicans will push for another amendment which rewords the 2nd Amendment.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-34817569431180430532007-11-21T21:41:00.000-06:002007-11-21T21:41:00.000-06:00Happy Thanksgiving, ABB.

BUT, I don't see any reason why the Guvmint can't require serious registration, consistent over the 50 states, so that we can TRACK THE GUNS. Also, who needs more than one gun a month, unless you're SELLING THEM. If you're a collector, collect 12 a year; one for each month. <BR/><BR/>And, nobody has explained to my satisfaction as to why any civilian needs a semi-automatic weapon. <BR/><BR/>But, I believe in the right -to-bear arms.rikyrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982657053583534299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-90700268600401752442007-11-21T13:58:00.000-06:002007-11-21T13:58:00.000-06:00ABB,Keith O has been hitting home runs for years. ...ABB,<BR/><BR/>Keith O has been hitting home runs for years.
