Today at the Supreme Court | 3.18.08
At 10 a.m., the Court is scheduled to hear argument in District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290), involving a Second Amendment challenge to the District’s firearms regulations. Walter Dellinger of Washington, D.C., will argue for the petitioner, Alan Gura of Alexandria, Va., will argue for the respondent, and Solicitor General Paul D. Clement will argue for the United States as amicus curiae.
The argument is scheduled to last 75 minutes, and will be rebroadcast on CSPAN shortly after its conclusion. We will provide a link to the audio feed as soon as it is available.
In advance of the argument, the Court may issue one or more opinions on the merits.
If history has any say in this matter whatsoever, then this case SHOULD hold that the individual has always had the right to bear arms..to say anything else would negate our entire frontier days of everyone carried a weapon…and it wasnt just for hunting…it was for self protection. You literally have to erase our 250 year history as nation to come to any other conclusion. But I dont put that past the power crazy bueracrats who want supreme power over the people and wish the Declaration of Independence had never been signed. That declaration declares the the people are to Independent from oppressive government, and thats where the constitution came in and gave us, the people the power, to oust our government by force if necessary, as they had done. The constitution gives government a limited set of powers and the People the supreme power over the Government. Unfortunately one major political party in America has turned to socialism which is in direct opposition to the concept of a nation of free people, because Government run anything, means the people become DEPENDENT on the Government for that resource…that should never happen in the USA.
