Well, it only took 22 years since the Heller decision. This should stop state fuckery with handing out concealed carry permits, not only in New York, but in California and other states that require “good cause” and “mental checkups.” We’ll wait and see what the Democrats try to pull to infringe upon our rights again.
Here is the SCOTUS opinion, written by Justice Thomas.
NPR faces backlash after criticizing Declaration of Independence. NPR sucks off the government titty, yet they have the audacity to complain about the Constitution. The government should defund them.
Behind closed doors during one of John Roberts’ most surprising years on the Supreme Court. Sorry, it’s CNN, but if you want to find out what this traitor has been up to behind closed doors, this is it for now.
Roberts also sent enough signals during internal deliberations on firearms restrictions, sources said, to convince fellow conservatives he would not provide a critical fifth vote anytime soon to overturn gun control regulations. As a result, the justices in June denied several petitions regarding Second Amendment rights.
Justice John Roberts screws the pooch again. One would think that with a supposedly conservative majority on the Supreme Court, the First Amendment would be a no-brainer. Throw in allegedly conservative Justice Roberts and throw out freedom of religion. Below is Justice Gorsuch’s righteously indignant dissent.
Gun regulators have admitted to violating the Second Amendment. That’s a good start. Now, let’s do the rest of the Amendments that are abused on a regular basis by unelected bureaucrats.
On Dec. 11, Gun Owners of America argued before the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals that the government’s recently enacted ban on bump stocks is illegal.
Just two months ago, a judge similarly found the bureau to have been enforcing laws that don’t exist against gun owners.
Maryland’s ‘Red Flag’ Law Turns Deadly: Officer Kills Man Who Refused To Turn In Gun. Why red flag laws are bad. They deprive citizens of their 2nd and 4th Amendment rights. If your ex-wife or neighbor are pissed off at you they can basically have you SWATted.
Revoking birthright citizenship would enforce the Constitution. Leave it to the liberals to interpret the Constitution based upon what they pull out of their asses.
President Trump is not proposing to “amend” the Constitution by executive order. He is proposing to faithfully enforce the Constitution as written, not how it has erroneously come to be interpreted in the last half century. It’s long overdue.
Top Democrat Wrongly Asserts Electoral College Isn’t in Constitution. They’re all butt hurt that Trump won the election and they’d give their right hands to get rid of the electoral college, which is the only thing keeping the left and right coast liberals from running the country.
Indiana Lawmaker Turns Tables on Professional Journalists. While we love the free press, we also hate the anti-gun press. Would you support this or not?
An Indiana Representative is forcing the establishment media to look in the mirror and face their hypocrisy.
He is proposing the First Amendment in Indiana be treated the same as the Second Amendment. His proposal is that journalists be required to apply for a license before they are allowed to publish.
If they have felony convictions, they might not be allowed to publish.
EXECUTIVE ORDERS – WHERE IS THIS ADMINISTRATION GETTING THIS AUTHORITY? We think you can guess where Obama is pulling these executive orders out of.
According to Jessie Jackson, Jr, we need to change the Constitution to give everyone a free house, free medical care, free educations, free iPods and free laptops.
According to Genius Jackson, Jr, we need to change the Constitution to give everyone a free house, free medical care, free educations, free iPods and free laptops.
Why stop there? You left out free cars and free gasoline. Free wide screen televisions and free HBO. Free Grand Slam breakfasts at Denny’s and free dinners at Outback Steakhouse. Free smoothies at Jamba Juice. Free shirts. Free underwear.
In fact, we’re pretty sure Genius, Jr. thinks everything should be free except elections.

Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, noted Constitutional scholar and all-around genius, cements her nomination for Congressional Bonehead of the Year with this brilliant explanation of why, in her mind, repealing ObamaCare is unconstitutional.
Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, noted Constitutional scholar and all-around genius, cements her nomination for Congressional Bonehead of the Year with this brilliant explanation of why, in her mind, repealing ObamaCare is unconstitutional.
The American Spectator reports Jackson Lee’s “interesting” analysis:
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from Texas, said on Tuesday afternoon that repealing the national health care law would violate the Constitution.
Arguing that the Commerce Clause provides the constitutional basis for ObamaCare, Jackson Lee said repealing the law by passing Republicans’ H.R. 2 violates both the Fifth Amendment’s right to due process and the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause.
“The Fifth Amendment speaks specifically to denying someone their life and liberty without due process,” she said in a speech on the House floor moments ago. “That is what H.R. 2 does and I rise in opposition to it. And I rise in opposition because it is important that we preserve lives and we recognize that 40 million-plus are uninsured.
She continued, “Can you tell me what’s more unconstitutional than taking away from the people of America their Fifth Amendment rights, their Fourteenth Amendment rights, and the right to equal protection under the law?”
This is, of course, the same Sheila Jackson Lee who once asked a NASA scientist if the Mars Pathfinder had photographed the flag that our astronatus left on the moon.
We’re not constitutional scholars like Sheila Jackson Lee, so maybe you can help us out with this question:
Is there anything in the Constitution that prohibits morons from serving in Congress?

Rick Santelli saw the hypocrisy of members of Congress who were sworn in to uphold and protect the Constitution (at least most of them) but pushed back against the idea of having it read on the chamber floor.
The Father of the Tea Party is not happy. And you know what happened the last time Rick Santelli got upset.
Liberals didn’t want the Constitution read on the floor of the House on Thursday. New York Democrat Jerrold Nadler, actually complained that it was being read “like a sacred text.” The New York Times called it “a presumptuous and self-righteous act.”
That didn’t sit well with CNBC’s Rick Santelli.
The Daily Caller has the details:
“Oh my God. We’re wasting so much money. You know this reading stuff is way overrated – whether it’s the Constitution – or reading scores in the U.S., or reading bills,” he said sarcastically. “A complete waste of time – come on. This is the digital age.”
He noted the hypocrisy of members of Congress who were sworn in to uphold and protect the Constitution (at least most of them) but pushed back against the idea of having it read on the chamber floor.
“You know what then – here’s what I want to know – then why did they all swear to that when they took their jobs yesterday? What a bunch of hypocrites.”
“Squawk Box” co-host Joe Kernen offered his view on how he thought some members of Congress viewed the document.
“Some swear to and some swear at it, I think,” Kernen said.
Do. Not. Piss. Off. Rick. Santelli.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson ruled that the government can’t force you to buy health insurance. Previously, Nancy Pelosi didn’t think this was a serious issue.
Our headline is actually in reverse chronological order. As you’ll see in this story.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson ruled that the government can’t force you to buy health insurance. In other words, ObamaCare is unconstitutional.
With that in mind, you may recall the incident last October when a reporter asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if she could pinpoint the part of the Constitution that authorized Congress to mandate that all Americans purchase healthcare insurance.
Reporter: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
Reporter: “Yes, yes I am.”
Don’t look now, Nancy hon, but we’re pretty sure Judge Hudson is serious, too.

If you’re a senior citizen who’s fallen on hard times and you’ve been praying for a free meal, stop praying. You’re violating the constitutionally-guaranteed separation of church and hunger. (We’re not constitutional scholars like President Obama, so we’re not quite sure exactly where that prohibition is spelled out our founding document.)

WSB-TV reports the story of political correctness run amok:
Preston Blackwelder proudly showed off a painting of his grandmother that had hung next to the front door of his Port Wentworth home.
She was the woman who led him to God, Blackwelder said Friday.
And with that firm religious footing, Blackwelder said it would be preposterous to stop praying before meals at Port Wentworth’s Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah because of a federal guideline.
“She would say pray anyway,” Blackwelder said of his grandmother. “She’d say don’t listen.”
But Senior Citizens Inc. officials said Friday the meals they are contracted by the city to provide to Ed Young visitors are mostly covered with federal money, which ushers in the burden of separating church and state.
On Thursday, the usual open prayer before meals at the center was traded in for a moment of silence.
The dilemma is being hashed out by the Port Wentworth city attorney, said Mayor Glenn “Pig” Jones.
Tim Rutherford, Senior Citizens Inc. vice president, said some of his staff recently visited the center and noticed people praying shortly before lunch was served. Rutherford said his company provides meals like baked chicken, steak tips and rice and salads at a cost of about $6 a plate. Seniors taking the meals pay 55 cents and federal money foots the rest of the bill, Rutherford said.
“We can’t scoff at their rules,” he said of federal authorities. “It’s a part of the operational guidelines.”
Just another example of those damn bitter clingers, stubbornly clinging to their religion and their appetites.

Good god, man, just when we knew Hank Johnson (D-GA) was hands down the dumbest guy in congress, Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL) runs into the spotlight and hollers, “Hey, look at me.”
Good god, man, just when we knew Hank Johnson (D-GA) was hands down the dumbest guy in congress, Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL) runs into the spotlight and hollers, “Hey, look at me.”
Hare told a disgruntled group of constituents, “I care more about the people who are dying every day than the Constitution in this.” When one of the angry voters pointed out that Hare had sworn to uphold the Constitution, the congressman quoted from the document.
Unfortunately, the constituent pointed out that instead of quoting the Constitution, Hare had actually quoted the Declaration of Independence and didn’t appear to know the difference between the two.
Finally, Hare told his constituents that he read the incredibly complex 2500+ page ObamaCare bill three times before he voted for it. When it was pointed out that that’s a page a minute every minute of the day and night between the time the bill was posted and when it was voted on, Hare did what any self-respecting congressman would do – he shrugged he shoulders, did a head fake, and ran for his car.
Let this be a lesson to the voters of Illinois:
Never vote for a congressman who looks like Barney Rubble.

Is the President’s resume accurate when it comes to his career and qualifications? I can corroborate that Obama’s “teaching career” at Chicago was, to put it kindly, a sham.
In case you were having trouble telling the difference, here’s what separates IHateTheMedia.com from the New York Times:
We haven’t checked out the veracity of this story because we don’t have the resources. They haven’t checked out the veracity of this story because they don’t want to know the truth.
It’s just one of those stories that came floating in over the internet:
Is the President’s resume accurate when it comes to his career and qualifications? I can corroborate that Obama’s “teaching career” at Chicago was, to put it kindly, a sham.
I spent some time with the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law a few months back, and he did not have many nice things to say about “Barry.” Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn’t even considered. A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach. The Board told him he didn’t have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position. He was never a professor and was hardly an adjunct.
The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. According to my professor friend, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is or was a requirement).
True? What do you think?

President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. Uh-oh. He confused the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence.
President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. He said:
We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….
Uh-oh. Wrong document, President Obama. It’s actually the Declaration of Independence that says:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It is almost zenlike, young grasshopper, that one should attempt to teach that which one has not yet mastered.
What kind of grade would the ol’ professor give a student who made such a basic error?
A solid B+.

“Of the many responsibilities granted to a president by our Constitution, few are more serious or more consequential than selecting a Supreme Court justice. The members of our highest court are granted life tenure, often serving long after the presidents who appointed them. And they are charged with the vital task of applying principles put to paper more than 20 centuries ago to some of the most difficult questions of our time.”
HotAir.com hypothesizes that he was actually referring to the bible instead of the Constitution. Maybe so, because if Bush had said this, the press would have crucified him.

Chris Matthews is foaming at the mouth again, driven to a wild-eyed frenzy by Rush Limbaugh. Matthews barraged a recent Republican Hardball guest with these questions about the conservative talk titan:
“Would you live in a country where he wrote the Constitution?”
“Would you live in a country where he wrote our rights? Listed our rights? Where he listed our rights. Would you live, would you live in that country?”
“Is he a sacred cow?”
“Say something, say something wrong, say something nasty about Rush Limbaugh!”
The Center for Disease Control is expected to issue the following statement: Future Hardball guests are advised to get precautionary rabies shots before approaching Chris Matthews.
