Supreme Court Rules In Favor of Gun Owners
-
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, for the first time in the nation's history, that individual Americans have the right to own guns for personal use, and struck down a strict gun control law in the nation's capital.
The landmark 5-4 ruling marked the first time in nearly 70 years that the high court has addressed whether the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, rather than a right tied to service in a state militia.

Yep. Now imagine if for the last 8 years conservative justices were not put on the bench. The liberals would have stripped the 2nd amendment straight out of the constitution.

have to say, scares the shit out of me too.
[sarcasm]Let's just burn the constitution already so we can completely control everything a person does or thinks.[/sarcasm]

you must be new here. for the last seven years, we've had a president that has used the constitution as a doormat. it's ridiculous the kind of crap that happens and there are no consequences. clinton lies about sexual acts in the white house and an impeachment was the result. bush undermines the bedrock of the country and makes us the joke of the world... and what happens?

Whew!

clinton was found to have lied under oath. what he lied about was disagreeable to lost of Americans, but the impeachable offense was lying under oath. That's perjury. It's a big deal.
There are plenty of people who chant "bush lied, people died", etc etc. That very well may be the case. If he is put on trial and commits purjury during the trial, at that point he'll have commited the same offense that got Clinton in legal hot water (which is different from "popularity" hot water)
I'm no fan of Bush, but anecdotes and bitterness don't move the country forward. Focus on what is factual and objective.

ok, i did leave out a few steps, but my point is that a series of investigations was started because of something trivial. lying under oath happened as a result of pursuing these investigations. presidential secrecy has been something huge throughout this country's history, do some googling on it. rarely has it resulted in the kind of knee-jerk reactions that clinton's behavior did
