Replace Miers With Bork?

That's what "conservative" National Review Online's Ned Rice recommends:

Lest there be any doubt, this suggestion to resubmit Bork’s name for Senate consideration is no satirical flourish. I am absolutely, positively serious about this. Bork was abundantly qualified to sit on the Supreme Court when he was nominated (and rejected) in 1987 and he remains so today because he is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost legal scholars in the United States.

Right.

Here's Bork's take on the Second Amendment:

"The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that there is no individual right to own a firearm. The Second Amendment was designed to allow states to defend themselves against a possibly tyrannical national government. Now that the federal government has stealth bombers and nuclear weapons, it is hard to imagine what people would need to keep in the garage to serve that purpose."

Bork that.

And Bork you, Mr. Rice, and all the other establishment neocons who would pass this fraud off as a strict constructionist.

Guess Who's Calling for Gun Control?

UK rapper Megaman of So Solid Crew, who allegedly ordered the shooting of a "love rival" and drove the gunman to the scene, is a big supporter of disarming Britons.

And the head of the "Disarm Trust" supports him right back.

You ought to read some of the Crew's "anti-gun" lyrics. They ought to leave no doubt why Megaman is such a big proponent of making sure the people around him don't have guns.

A Tale of Two Citizens

A Twin Falls man faces multiple felony charges for forcing his girlfriend to her knees while pointing a gun to her head and threatening to kill her.

Sounds appropriate.

So why didn't the same thing happen to THIS guy?

Sheriff's Officer Attacked, Gun Stolen

Authorities were seeking three suspects who boxed the officer in with two vehicles, overpowered him and took his service weapon, Maer said.

Gee, isn't that why they developed "smart guns"? Oh, but, the police exempted themselves if and when the technology is deemed ready to mandate on the rest of us.

What have we been saying about improving the human operator?

If only he'd been wearing his plastic nodule glove.
