Supreme Court Grants Cert in Second Amendment Incorporation
Posted: 30 Sep 2009 in Guns, Second AmendmentTags: Guns, Second Amendment
I hope this goes through. I am so tired of California’s draconian laws on guns. Maybe a case can be brought against this state for impeding on the RTKBA.
I would like to see this state become a “shall issue” state.
Supreme Court Grants Cert in Second Amendment Incorporation Case!
This is the question that the Court held off considering in Heller.
Whether the Second Amendment is incorporated into the Due Process Clause or the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment so as to be applicable to the States, thereby invalidating ordinances prohibiting possession of handguns in the home.
Heller finally settled the question of whether the Second Amendment protects and individual right to firearms. But unlike most of the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment has generally (and with some exceptions back in the 1800s) not been applied to the states.

FedEx flies terminally ill girl home
By CELIA DEWOODY
Because of caring people and a caring company, a terminally ill little Green Forest girl was flown home Friday by air ambulance from M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, so she can spend her last days surrounded by the people who love her most.
Jada Harper, who turned seven on Sept. 1, has an inoperable malignant tumor in her brain and is in a coma with a ventilator doing her breathing for her. She has been at the famous cancer center in Houston since July, but her situation is now at the point not much else can be done to help her.

More on those damn lies of his:
Is Your Money Really Your Money? Not if You Ask the Democrats.
By Jimmie Bise
Remember when the President said, even when confronted with a dictionary, that a tax wasn’t actually a tax because he decided to call it “a responsibility”. Well, call it whatever you want, but according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, if you don’t pay whatever it is, you’ll go to jail for a year or pay up to a $25,000 fine.
Not like Al Capone, though. He went to jail for tax evasion. You’ll go to jail for…err…not fulfilling your responsibility to pay money the government says you must pay but isn’t a tax, honest and for true, because the President said it wasn’t. Admittedly, it’s going to take up a bit more room on your criminal record, but perhaps you can explain it away by saying you didn’t really go to jail; you went to a “freedom restriction facility”.
After all, it’s the President’s world. We, and the definitions of common words, are just living in it, right?
Literary Lion Obama Will Roar No More
By Jack Cashill
The major media will not likely tackle the emerging evidence of Obama’s stunning literary fraud, but the days of Obama’s boasting about his writing skills are just as likely over.
The immediate cause of concern at the White House is Christopher Andersen’s largely benign new book, Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage.
Andersen contends that the ambitious Obama, unaware of JFK’s own literary fraud, hoped to launch his own political career with a book as did John Kennedy with the discreetly ghost-written Profiles In Courage.
This is deep.
Gregory Kane: Get a handgun, save a life
By Gregory Kane
Here’s the punch line:
A Baltimore Sun editorial lamented the killing, claiming that “even burglars don’t deserve to be killed with a razor-sharp sword.” (That leaves us all to ponder this question: What, exactly, DO burglars deserve to be killed with?) Later, in the same editorial, the writer pondered what would have happened if Rice had been armed.
And there, dear readers, you have a classic example of what I call lib-think. I take it you noticed the underlying assumption: Criminals are supposed to be armed. It’s kind of in their job description. But law-abiding citizens being armed? Oh, perish the thought.
