Facts that could conceivably get swept under the table, otherwise.

However, I don't see this in any way keeping her from getting the nod to be the next justice. The Dems and Obama could care less about our Constitution or the rights of the people. Tonight when I listened in to the tele-townhall with Sen. Demint and Ed Meese, both men acknowledged that Congress is making laws outside the Constitution faster than at any time in history. Ed Meese said we need to overturn laws made that are against the Constitution. I'd like for that to happen but I don't see it happening anytime soon, if at all. Jim Demint said that this will continue until the people wake up and say, "I've had enough". I understand your lack of being able to conceive that any judge or justice stepping outside the rule of law, in this case the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, but our courts have brazenly been doing it for a long time while Americans sit back more concerned about Michael Jackson and what will happen to his kids than what is happening to this country. We are responsible for all this to some degree. We elect those who make the laws and the president who appoints federal judges. As long as we are more interested in fulfilling some idealistic diversity sweepstakes to see if we can elect the first black, first female, first Hispanic, first gay or whatever, instead of wanting the most qualified, not much will change. I believe that Obama has selected a woman to fill the position of SC Justice because she most closely follows his political and personal beliefs about this country and both share a common disregard for our Constitution.

The NRA wants to apply the 2nd amendment to all the states, thus evoking the 14th amendment's clause which applies to ALL the states....Just how the SCOTUS can exempt any states from the basic rights which we are guaranteed under the constitution, is all but impossible for Americans to conceive of....(kind of like letting some states impose slavery, but not others...)
