Seriously? Nearly every thread on here has a comment to the effect that "I couldn't do it right because I'm using my phone." If you "can't do it right" on your "phone" why bother using it for the internet? Screens are too small, typing is too difficult, my phone doesn't run that application....boo fucking hoo. Wait till you get home and do it on a COMPUTER. Jesus.

Welcome to three days ago. The city of Chicago's "handgun" ban was EXACTLY what the case was about.

This is exactly why doing anything on the internet on a PHONE sucks. Phones are for making calls. On the other hand, you might be the laziest fucker alive.

Nah. Everyone there is too busy swinging from BHO's nuts. Except for Rachel Maddow. She's a dyke.

I'm not sure that I agree with the author's interpretation of the 14th amendment, but its an interesting read none the less. Some of the comments are insightful as well. I still think the court did the right thing.

I know its true. Jrmiiiiiii even said so. There's probably a blog post about it on KOS or the Huffnpuff Post.

Consider yourself updated. Seriously, though, there isn't much BHO can really do about this. The Constitutional review has occurred, and the matter is settled really. They could try the amendment route, but that would be a long, uphill battle. It certainly wouldn't happen in our lifetime.

As far as I know, the only way to change a Supreme Court decision (and the application of that decision) is to change the Constitution through the amendment process. BHO may have another chance to appoint a Justice, but the only other one knocking on death's door is Ginsberg. She's another liberal (as is Stevens who is retiring) and replacing her during this administration wouldn't change the balance of the court.

I keep telling you fuckers I'm right.

I've seen this before (the videos also) and while I disagree with some of the writer's reasoning, he's spot on with the fact that "liberal" gun control measures disproportionally affect blacks and other minorities due to the "geography" of the bans. Especially appropriate for this discussion.

My guess is you were still trying to figure out what "globalization" is.

Amen.

This is basically what I already said: That is the Federal Governments ENTIRE purpose. Not part of their purpose. The "other" things that they do are the things that infringe on "states rights". You make ZERO sense here. "Perfect" balance? Between what? "Constant" process?? "Constantly" examine our interpretations?? You need to step away from the crack pipe again. The Constitution isn't open for "interpretation". The laws that the legislative branch makes is what are "interpreted" to ensure they don't violate the Constitution - you said so yourself. The purpose of the SCOTUS has nothing to do with "seeing if what we're doing works in a "practical" sense. Their job is to determine how a particular law or previous lower court ruling relates to the Constitution. Regardless of what ever else changes, the Constitution is constant. Period. Interesting. Republican support of civil rights laws drove the "bigots" to that party? Is that another assumption on your part, or do you have some facts or names to back that up? Seriously dude, stop talking out of your ass. You're embarrassing yourself. "Independent Liberal"? That's a new one. I've never seen someone who was willing to give themselves the the "liberal" (progressive) label without adding the "democrat" to it as well. What you've quoted seems to be merely someone's opinion of that bill as I could find no similar language in the bill itself. Its not up to me to disprove your statements. You have to prove they're correct. If you've got some facts to back your ridiculous statements up, bring them into the discussion. I seldom get red faced or indignant, but if that's the way you want to picture me, go ahead. I still picture you with that dumb assed "gangsta" look that you had in your old avatar. What, exactly, won't last long here Sam?

Sad, sad news. Condolences to those left behind.

Another liberal that doesn't understand the Constitution. The Second Amendment and the defense and application of the same is NOT a states rights issue. Period. The Federal Government's responsibility is to defend our borders and make sure the individual states don't do anything to the citizens within their borders that conflicts with the Constitution. A constant process? Are you fucking kidding me? The Constitution is finished product. The only way it can be changed is through the amendment process. I think you need to take another history class, genius. Those that supported the "Jim Crow Laws" and were anti civil rights are the same fucks you currently align yourself with - "liberal" democrats. I'd also like to hear some examples of your "crazy religious laws" that they "try to pass" in "red" states. Maybe you can try again when you've done some research and learned a thing or two? On the other hand, maybe you could post your uneducated views in the "globalization" thread.

No, they weren't voting on the "constitutionality" of the Second Amendment. The issue was can the states limit a substantive right guaranteed by the Federal Government via the Constitution - like due process, or freedom of speech. This is a HUGE decision and will soon have ramifications nation wide for other local gun bans like Cleveland's "Assault Weapons" ban.

Nah, he'll get me the hook up.

So you have a problem that the Supreme Court ruled that states can not limit a substantive right as guaranteed by the Constitution? Seriously? You've got some 'splainin to do.

First Heller, now this. It's been a long time coming. I can't wait to read the entire opinion. http://www.chicagoguncase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/mcdonaldopinion08-1521.pdf

Of course I did. If I didn't do it, someone else would. And if they did, they'd do it wrong.

Oh, if it goes down I'll be there. As long a IP buys my ticket.

Quit stirring the pot. You started it.

Let me guess....you still have it? Sure, everyone wants it - if you gave it to them. If there's gonna be an OR ass kicking, I'll be there for it. (just as long as it isn't mine)

Hot? Are you fucking kidding me? I've been in southern MS for the last 4 days. You pussies don't know what HOT is.

Good references to what? Certainly not globalization. I'd recommend that you do some research on the topic prior to writing a paper.
