Jim,

You’re right. So-called “right” and “left” Adiministrations differ only in which rights and for what reason they will try to restrict or deny to us. The left is now denouncing “civil liberties” abuses by the Bush Administration, but a “leftist” (Obama) Administration will trounce them too, especially when it comes to going after our guns. As you say, they’re both “authoritarian”.

I’m personally glad that the government actually has to try terrorists before locking them up forever. Gun owners have been referred to as terrrorists before and I have no doubt that a Gore administration would have given us AWB 2 instead of guantanamo. The excesses of the authoritarian right should receive no better treatment by the Court than those of the authoritarian left.

Raven,
Actually the SC stated that the currently seated government can not arbitrarily decide who is a terrorist and hold them without Constitutional protections. This should be a positive thing since it is possible that with an Obama presidency he could determine that everyone who owned an EBR was an enemy combatant and thus not allowed Constitutional protections. Please note that if you are vocal in your support of the Constitution you already fall into the definition of a domestic terrorist. It’s not just in the papers leaked from the FBI. It is listed in the educational materials used in criminal justice studies.

To quote Andrew Sullivan:Know Hope

And remember, if asked, 25% would say the sky was yellow and the sun was blue.

So ib that context, saying 75% have a clue is like saying 100% od people with ANY BRAIN FUNCTION agree with us.

Given the Supreme’s decision today that terrorists should be afforded Constitutional protections, I’m not so sure how they will vote on this case.

Only 75% of the public thinks the Bill of Rights was put in place to protect the rights of the people from governmental interference. That’s sad.

Trying . . . really . . . hard . . . not to count my chickens too soon, but maybe the Court will make a common-sense decision and acknowledge that the 2nd Amendment means what it says.
