The case that has been accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court on the Chicago gun ban highlights a certain aspect of American jurisprudence that needs a correction.
This issue is discussed in depth in my new essay at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Although it is a shame that things have come to this in the United States of America, the Court has a golden opportunity to correct a glaring error with regard to our gun rights.

And Now, the Parade of the Turncoats
Nine (9) Republican turncoats vote along with Democrats to confirm Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hint--Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was one of them, but this time John McCain was NOT.
Read the rest at the link above to find out who else is on the ultimate blacklist.

SCOTUS Gets To Sit on It's Arse
From the War on Guns:
David Codrea presents the entire scenario that led to this travesty.
Who's surprised that rather than just recognize and protect our unalienable rights--the whole reason we feed these bastards in the first place--that ritual is given more importance than the reason behind it?
So now SCOTUS can sit on its hands, continue to allow injustice and deprivation of rights to exist unchallenged, and allow the pot to continue its gradual progression to full boil.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/14/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
CNS News reports that Sonia Sotomayor stated in hearings this morning that the verdict is out on the 2nd Amendment and that it does not apply to the states. Uh, funny how the 14th Amendment is taken to apply to every single right in the BILL OF RIGHTS except 1--the Second Amendment. Sotomayor wants it to stay that way, which begs the question as to why the NRA failed to throw its full weight behind opposing this travesty of a nominee.
The War on Guns weighs in on the Sotomayor/Obama attack on gun rights. And if our 'progressive NRA friends' cannot stop THIS nominee, how do they think they can stop the next one, who WILL shift the Supreme Court to the Left in favor gun control and limited the 2nd Amendment? The Dems now have a 60-seat super-majority. They WILL confirm whoever Obama puts before them. Do you honestly expect the next one will be any less a danger to gun rights?
Sebastian live-blogs the Sotomayor exchange on guns and provides some insightful comments. But I must be quick to point out that the argument 'but she's only replacing Souter who wouldn't be our friend anyway' is a fallacious notion. When Sotomayor is confirmed, the gun rights community (the NRA in particular) WILL regret not vehemently opposing her when Obama chooses his next Court nominee who will be just as bad if not worse.
Conservative Libertarian Outpost posts a special alert on Sotomayor from Gun Owners of America--the ONLY national gun rights advocacy organization that actively opposed and lobbied Senators to oppose Sotomayor.
Free in Idaho presents the only question that really needs an answer from Sonia Sotomayor. A good read!
Days of our Trailers notes that it's very telling that a certain organization we all know and love (yeah, right) has endorsed Sonia Sotomayer for SCOTUS.
Texas Fred has been at the forefront of the battle against Sotomayor, and posts a letter he received today from Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson on the matter and relays this information from Senator John Cornyn.
Ride Fast and Shoot Straight says that Californians are 'gunning up' just like everyone else. I see a renewed run on the gun shops in light of the real possibility that Obama will succeed in turning the Supreme Court anti-gun.
Breda has the scoop on tonight's edition of Gun Nuts Radio.
Bloviating Zeppelin says that history proves that environmental regulations kill commerce, jobs, and cause costs to skyrocket.
The Rustmeister informs us of the real reason restaurant owners don't want gun owners to carry in their businesses.
1 With a Bullet blogs on 'the Wild Bunch Holster.' Interesting!
Say Uncle reports that Arizona's GOP Governor has expanded gun rights in the state. Good!
Standing By says that Obama's bailed out fascist mixture of government and business at Goldman-Sachs is at the center of the push for the cap and trade energy tax. I would also note that so is GE, the owner of NBC News and its subsidiaries.
Western Rifle Shooters Association takes a chilling look at a new 'Czar' Obama has appointed--a savage who puts to shame Hitler's 'doctors' who performed experiments on political prisoners and Jews.
Brigid shares a beautifully-written poem entitled, 'The Wolf Is In My Soul.' Don't pass this up!

10 Questions Senators Won't Ask Sotomayor (But I Will)
I will be willing to wager you won't hear a single Senator ask these 10 questions of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, but I will.
Read all about it at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Today marks the beginning of Senate confirmation hearings for Sotomayor. All Americans should DEMAND that she give an accounting for the 10 questions/issues I cite!

SOTOMAYOR ALERT!
In a major embarrassment for the Obama Administration and Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling issued by Sotomayor that denied promotions to white firefighters in Connecticut based upon their race.
Sotomayor had ruled that minority firefighters were entitled to the promotions in spite of the fact that they did not do as well on a key test as the white firefighters.
The ruling by Sotomayor had set off a firestorm of controversy revolving around the issue of 'reverse discrimination.'
And the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court today is a stunning setback for Barack Obama, Sonia Sotomayor, and the Democrats on the Hill who are determined to place her on the high court.
This is not the first time Sotomayor's court decisions have been overturned. In fact, her decisions have been overturned by higher courts more than any other judge in the federal system.
The question is, will the SCOTUS ruling today be enough to deny Sotomayor a seat on the high court? Remember, Democrats have an overwhelming majority in Congress, and they have demonstrated again and again that they will engage in corruption, scandal, and arrogance, refusing to investigate corruption in their own ranks.
They may well railroad Sotomayor onto the Supreme Court in spite of her obvious incompetence.
Senators on the Hill need to near from the citizens that we will not tolerate any more shenanigans on their part to engage in blatant partisanship no matter what the consequences. They may well discover just how severe are the consequences come November of 2010.

Sen. Graham: Sotomayor Is No Racist
RINO Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has engaged in some deft doublespeak, claiming that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is no racist. Yet he claims she should apologize for her remarks.
Huh?
What does she have to apologize for, then, Senator?
Read all about this and other reactions from Senators in today's Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Thanks.

"Specter, the Supreme Court, and Political Parties"
Our guest blogger today is Rev. Kharma, who always provides excellent reading.
Specter, the Supreme Court, and Political Parties
by Rev. Kharma
A scorpion scuttles to the bank of a stream, seeking a way across. He spies a frog and asks him to carry him across the water. The frog is doubtful, and asks the scorpion “Why would I do that? What if you sting me?” The scorpion replies, “I would not do that, if I were to sting you, we would both drown.” Thinking for a moment, the frog agrees. The scorpion climbs on his back and they head into the water. About half way across, the scorpion wields his tail, stinging the frog with a deadly poison. Just before they sink below the water, the frog asks the scorpion “Why…?” To which the scorpion replies:
“It is my nature to do so”.
(From Aesop’s Fables, roughly from memory)
The political pundits are whirling and spinning, all trying to explain or excuse the move yesterday by Arlen Specter from Pa. He has returned to the Democrat party which he left in the 1960’s. He has said coyly that the Republicans ‘left him’. He felt uncomfortable in a party which would not allow for diverse views. Republicans are stunned, and media mouths are dropping in shock. I can’t understand anyone being shocked. Mr. Specter has shown his sense of political expediency outweighs his courage since he switched affiliation in 1965 to defeat a Democrat incumbent for a district attorney position. Mr. Specter has always walked the walk of political survival. Recall his courageous vote ‘Pursuant to Scottish Law I vote Unproved’ during the impeachment trial of President Clinton. Rather than take a stand and display principle, he managed to evade accountability. He saw the poll numbers and knew there was no slam dunk with either side, so he took no side.
In the same way he saw the poll numbers and knew he might not win reelection this time, so rather than take a stand, he took a leap. Only weeks after stating flatly that he was a ‘republican, and would always be one” he jumped to the other party, ensuring that he would now have some measure of power in congress that he could not earn in the minority party.
Republicans supported Specter in the 2006 election. President Bush expended much time and effort to help reelect Specter, and he made promises to help the republicans work toward their objectives. (Why would I aid the democrats? If I do that we all lose!”) He repaid the work and effort by giving his vote to Obama and his ’stimulus package’ (Because, it’s my nature!”)
The Republican party was once home to bedrock conservative ideas: Small government, limited taxation, and support for the Constitution. Over the last decade or so they have drifted, becoming essentially a smaller version of the Democrat party. They agreed in principle that big government was essential, they just haggled over the exact size and goals of that government. In essence the debate was not over a controlling centralized government. It was over who should hold the reins, and in which direction the power of government would be directed. With two parties controlling things, the debate becomes one in which actions of ‘our guys’ is deemed good, and the actions of ‘those guys’ is deemed bad. As long as it’s ‘our party’ we are told to cheer for any application of government power, especially when punitively applied to the other party.
After 9/11, George W. Bush’s ‘Compassionate Conservatism’ was transformed into something sometimes referred to as ‘ American Greatness Conservatism”. This was merely a different mask on the face of an expanding State system. The thinking seemed to be that as long as the controls were in the hands of ‘the good guys’ it was not a bad thing to have Big Government. The flaw here is that in the constitutional system set up in the U. S. those controls don’t belong to a single party for long. And once the Democrats get hold there is no reason for them to slow the expansion of government, as they can accurately say the debate is over. Now that the party in control is all about spending, people like Specter can go along, join them and have no fear of reprisal. They will happily spend others money and reap short term benefits. Arlen Specter moved from one party to another because control of our government is held by parties, rather than by representatives of the people.
As I was mulling all of this, one more thing came to my attention. There are now stories that Justice Souter will be leaving the US Supreme court, giving President Obama his first opportunity to show his true inclinations and philosophy. The dominance of parties will be on display here. The leftists who now control the Democrat party will push for the appointment of someone who shares the deeply felt, but deeply hidden views of Mr. Obama. A clear indicator of his thinking is the nominee to be legal adviser to the State Department, Harold Koh. Mr. Koh is an ardent proponent of what he he casts as ‘Transnationalism’. This is a political theory which, if put into practice, would literally undermine the US constitution and replace it with ill defined concepts of multi- national, or global law. Such foundational principles as our First
Amendment freedoms of speech and religion, which he regards as an obstacle to America joining with the ‘international community’ will be pushed aside.
Writing for National Review Online, Ed Whalen gives us a preview of Koh’s stunning views:
As part of his general case for what he contends to be the “more venerable strand of ‘transnationalist jurisprudence’” over the “blinkered view” of a “nationalist jurisprudence” (Koh, International Law as Part of Our Law, 98 Am. J. Int’l. L. 43, 48, 52 (2004)), Koh approvingly sets forth the transnationalist view that
domestic courts must play a key role in coordinating U.S. domestic constitutional rules with rules of foreign and international law, not simply to promote American aims, but to advance the broader development of a well-functioning international judicial system. In Justice Blackmun’s words, U.S. courts must look beyond narrow U.S. interests to the “mutual interests of all nations in a smoothly functioning international legal regime” and, whenever possible, should “consider if there is a course of action that furthers, rather than impedes, the development of an ordered international system.”
(98 Am. J. Int’l. L. at 53-54 (emphasis added).
In order to ‘coordinate’ like this, there is only one path. That path is to subordinate, or abandon the Constitution, and substitute some form of ‘International Law”. This is not the same thing as historically understood, and agreed upon framework such as the outlawing of piracy. This is an entanglement of regulations and rules designed and implemented by groups similar to the EU.
If we allow this, we allow the end of the United States of America.
George Washington, at the end of his time as President spoke forcefully about the dangers of Parties and the destruction they could do to the new born American nation. We see his words as prophetic now, as parties run the government for their benefit, instead of the benefit of the people who put them in place.
I think we may have a short time with an open window here. Arlen Specter’s party change exposes clearly the raw power of parties, and their strangle hold on government and our nation in general. Perhaps we should encourage others, who have complained that they feel marginalized by the parties to leave. Instead of switching, they should be encouraged simply to leave and follow no party at all. It seems as if the Republican party is sliding into irrelevance. Let’s see if we can prevent another ‘party’ from replacing it, and instead have the American people be represented. If we allow another party to form, we risk the fate of Aesop’s frog, for we already know what is in the nature of political parties.

LIBERTY ALERT! SCOTUS UPHOLDS VOTER ID
In a stunning decision that is sure to totally revamp the manner in which voting is done in the nation, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Indiana law requiring photo voter I.D.
The Court ruled that requiring proper photo identification at the polls is NOT a violation of Constitutional rights.
It is our opinion that the ruling is long overdue. It is also a stinging defeat for Democrats who tend to favor 'open voting' and a major victory for Republicans who wish to thwart illegal activity at the voting booth.
Thus, the door is open for many more states to pass voter photo I.D. laws that target illegal aliens and other forms of voter fraud such as persons using the names of the deceased in order to vote more than once.
The High Court is to be congratulated for a good ruling today.
The Court ruled that requiring proper photo identification at the polls is NOT a violation of Constitutional rights.
It is our opinion that the ruling is long overdue. It is also a stinging defeat for Democrats who tend to favor 'open voting' and a major victory for Republicans who wish to thwart illegal activity at the voting booth.
Thus, the door is open for many more states to pass voter photo I.D. laws that target illegal aliens and other forms of voter fraud such as persons using the names of the deceased in order to vote more than once.
The High Court is to be congratulated for a good ruling today.

Wow, this is certainly 'surprising.' While out denigrating America, attending a church where the Pastor says, 'God Damn America,' Barack Obama was out getting rich from good old American capitalism. Michelle Malkin has the story, and the Obamas' tax return (they're not very generous with charitable giving either!):
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/03/25/the-obamas-tax-returns-show-how-capitalism-helped-make-them-rich/
Malkin also has this hilarious pictorial on the bullet-dodging, paratrooper heroine Hillary Clinton in Bosnia. NONE of what Hillary says happened actually happened. But this pictorial will have you rolling on the floor:
