Gun rights leaders say 'NO' to Sotomayor nomination

[Walkalong]

She doesn't believe in the 2nd amendment, which to me means she does not support the Constitution.

She doesn't believe in the

same interpretation of the

2nd amendment,

as I do

which to me

personally

means she does not support the Constitution

in the way I wish she would.

There, I fixed it for you. Statements of absolutes are dangerous... the world is composed of shades of gray...

One of the most telling statements she made, when early on she was being considered, was that the Supreme Court was a great place to make laws. After she was being seriously considered for the position, she quickly backed off from making another statement to that effect. That first statement alone demonstrates her intentions and lack of maintaining the ONLY role of the Supreme Court- to interpret the law. Strong consideration of her intentions and the possible effects on 2nd amendment in the future, should be enough to say NO by GOP congressmen, on her confirmation. Unfortunately, too many of them are playing to minorities to garner votes in the next election. They are prostituting their Congressional voting power for personal gain.

for the people, by the people, of the people

sometimes the leaders of this country forget who they are leading.
the USA.
we don't take government corruption lightly.
that is how this country was formed in the first place.
they do what WE say.
not the media, not what other countries say.
they do what the american public says.
sometimes they need to be reminded of that.

Absolutely right, and when the government does not listen, we get to vote the politicians we don't like out of office, and hand power to people who will better serve our needs.

Like what happened last November... a majority of American's wanted a change, and voted for it. No coup, no blood in the streets, just a handover of power because people demanded a different leadership style.

We happen to be in the minority, but that does not make the process any less valid. We just need to work harder in 2010 and 2012.

We have to remember that there are Pro gun Democrats like Jim Webb ov Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana. The residents of these states need to put the pressure on their Senators and make them toe the Second Ammendment line.

Freedom certainly is at risk here at home if our elected leaders and appointed judges believe that our fundamental rights are merely "political rights". If that is true, then politicians-- and the judges they appoint -- can abridge, alter or eliminate them and the Constitution and Bill of Rights have been reduced to just rotting sheets of antique paper, the quaint relics of a dead dream.

A biased judge that is ideologically driven by prejudice and ignorance is one of the vilest and most dangerous of despots.

As long as we keep at each other over party lines, we'll continue to lose.

She's not sworn in yet, while the fat lady is warming up, she ain't started to sing.

Win or lose, get up off the fat butts and do something. Send a letter to your reps asking that they not confirm her.

Even if they do, at least you did something. If enough people do something, eventualy the cup comes back home.

The bickering by the sudo intellectuals is really starting to get old.

The sky is falling!!!

Sorry I just don't see the point in panic threads like these anymore

There is no profit in these discussions, and so we won't have them.
