Perhaps he could start by pointing out the term "state militia" in the Constitution?
Rights are not subject to the will of the mob.
What a sleazebag.
Judicial activism?!?!? WHAT UNMITIGATED GALL!!! Where the he** does HE get off crabbing about judicial activism?!?!?
I think it's more likely that the 70 years of judicial inactivity on the democratically expressed will of the people and unconstitutional laws passed by congress is more along the lines of judicial activism.
This ruling is the first time the courts have properly understood the supreme law of the land, or rather at least 66% of the judges involved that is.
F him!
With each passing day, what Helmke thinks, speaks or writes, becomes more and more inconsequential.
Tell me Paul, how does it feel becoming 'incrementally' insignificant?
Just be glad we aren't still in Revolutionary times, Helmke. As you assurdedly would be tar & feathered, hung, or stripped of all property and exiled....
Imagine that. Someone from the Brady Center telling us that a partial legal recognition of our God-given rights as highlighted in the 2nd amendment in our Bill of Rights is "judicial activism."
Since the 2nd Amendment grants nothing, but codifies this God-given right pre-existing our government and our Constitution, I don't know how anyone could call this "judicial activism" unless they have ulterior motives. Not that I'd accuse that lefty organization of ulterior motives...
"As you assurdedly would be tar & feathered, hung, or stripped of all property and exiled...."
Now there are some mental images that are warm and fuzzy...I like the tar and feathers part.
