From Rush Limbaugh's site:
Isn't it amazing that the issue of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is lurking just beneath the surface of so many issues? It is the litmus test of so much in politics. While the press talks about the current Supreme Court pick, or Katrina, or National ID or (fill in the blank), "guns" are the unspoken political issue.
I watched Dianne Feinstein this morning outside her palatial mansion in Pacific Heights in San Francisco, and she was being asked about Harriet Miers, and she said, "Well, I don't really know much about Harriet Miers." So she started a recitation of what's wrong with the court. She said her big concern, other than Roe vs. Wade, which is her #1 concern, her big concern is the commerce clause. She says, "The Supreme Court is telling us where we can and can't legislate," and then she brought up the commerce clause. She said, "This court told us that Congress cannot rule that you can't have a gun a thousand feet or a thousand yards, whatever it is, from a school. Well, she said most Americans look at that and that's silly. Do we want guns within a thousand feet of schools?"
