On behalf of four million NRA members and 80 million American gun owners, we would like to thank Vice President Dick Cheney for his strong support of the individual rights view of the Second Amendment. Today, in his capacity as President of the United States Senate, Vice President Cheney signed on to the congressional amicus curiae brief affirming the individual rights view of the Second Amendment. As Americans, we are grateful and fortunate to have a friend of freedom in the Vice President.

Led by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), bi-partisan majorities of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives - in fact, the largest number of co-signers of a congressional amicus brief in American history - filed a strong brief in support of the individual rights view. 55 members of the Senate and 250 members of the House co-signed this brief along with the Vice President of the United States. This landmark brief argues that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual, fundamental right to Keep and Bear Arms; that any infringement on this right should be subject to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny; that D.C.'s categorical ban on handguns and self-defense in the home is unreasonable and unconstitutional under any level of review; and therefore, that the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit's opinion in this case should be upheld.

Do you think in this election year the "wrong" song is sung by by "Diana" Ginsberg and The Supremes could have some horrible consequences for the darlings of the political landscape, our very own American Democrats?  I think it would. 

The democrats have to be peeing in their pants about either possibility.

This case is due to be decided in May or June--just in time to inject the Second Amendment right back into the political discourse.

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Of all of the briefs filed in this case, this one is the most impressive......approved by majorities in both the house and senate, it essentially carries with it the "force of law".....removing the ability of the SC to weasel out in their majority opinion stating that " this is a matter for the legislative branch to decide".......

Good for congress......the liberals on the court are really backed into a corner now......there is no way that a decision upholding the DC ban will NOT have serious political implications for the Dems in this election.  And for the liberals on the court "everything is about politics".  Ginsberg has to be soiling her "Depends"..
