High Hopes for Heller
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Here’s what I’d like to see, in it’s entirety, coming down from the Supreme Beings in a bit more than six hours:
“The right of the people,” you idiots, “to keep and bear arms” that actually work “shall not” even “be infringed”.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to the range.
I’ll be happy, though, if they just uphold the Circuit Court’s decision to void the D.C. gun control laws in question, on the grounds that they are so egregiously infringing that they cannont survive any level of scrutiny.
However, if they hold that the government can take personal property in civil forfeiture or eminent domain, give illegal combatants killing American soldiers on foreign soil full habeus privileges, and declare that even the most brutal of child rapers do not deserve the death penalty, but that ciitizens in our nation’s capitol cannot be trusted with the means to defend themselves, then they will utterly abdicate their legitimacy.
We’ll see in a few hours.
