Chicago Gun Case Argued Before Supreme Court Today

Pro-and anti-gunners alike are fixated on the Supreme Court, where oral arguments in McDonald v. Chicago will be getting underway at 10:00 am. [More]
That's minutes from now.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column gives an overview of the issues as I see them.

Sisce all of us can read the plain language of 2A - Isn't this really a test of the Supreme Court adhering to their oath?

As all laws repugnant to the Constitution are null and void (John Marshall,SCOTUS, Marbury vs Madison 1803)... Do not Courts and Governments which act in a manner repugnant to the Constitution make themselves Null and Void?

As SCOTUS can declare laws null and void, the role of the people is to determine if/when the Court and/or the Government acts contrary to the agreement constituted among men. "It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Does the government still hold to the agreement, plainly worded and instituted among Men? Or do they ignore it, nullifying the agreement, thereby nullifying themselves?

We watch and wait.

Actually, I'm hoping they screw the pooch, and start a war. It's about time those assholes showed what they're really capable of, and then get results they didn't intend. The longer this goes on, the more ropes and lines and chains they're going to put on us, and I've already had a bellyfull. And they got it comin'.

The SCOTUS has already declared the 14th Amendment unconstitutional. It follows that the gang of nine will probably judicially amend the 2nd as well.

The SCOTUS used to be rightly accused of legislating from the bench. What has been overlooked is that they have also taken it upon themselves to ratify amendments to the Constitution and to declare portions of the Constitution unconstitutional. Of course this has all been done in the good intentioned pursuit of "Reasonableness".

Of course, at one time it was perfectly "reasonable" and legal to kill millions of Jews, Gypsies, and homosexuals.
