Did you hear that? It's the sound of Ted Nugent and Wayne LaPierre's and zombie Charlton Heston's heads, all exploding in glorious concert, because the Supremes ruled against a Gun Thing yesterday, which is weird because we totally figured that the Fab Five conservatives on the Court loved them some rolling back gun regulations as much as they loved rolling back regulations on every other goddamn thing in the world. However, at least in this case, Anthony Kennedy trod?? treaded?? all over freedom and the Bill of Rights by joining the Court's somewhat liberal wing to uphold the straw purchaser law, which prohibits you from saying you're buying the gun for yourself when you're really buying it for someone else. What is this? Soviet Russia???
For his carefully measured and well-reasoned opinions taking all aspects of a case into account and rendering a judgment that will stand the test of ages (or, doing whatever The Scalitos tell him)
The form where it says "This is my gun, that I shall have and to hold, to love and to cherish, in threatening authorities and in chasing criminals away, to kiss gently when it cries its gun oil out of loneliness because I haven't bought all of its brother and sister and uncle guns (yet), and it is not for someone else"?
Here, let's see if you're TRULY qualified to sit:
Antonin Scalia says "agree with X." Do you:
A. Agree with X. B. Agree with X, saying nothing and asking no questions. C. Agree with X, say nothing, ask no questions, and allow your spouse to do major rightwing activism. D. Use your own judgment to come to a reasonable conclusion about this matter.
Yes, there happen to be a shit ton of things that are legal to do sometimes, except not so much in different circumstances.
You can, for instance, shoot your weapon, quite legally, at all kinds of living things, like ducks, geese, possums, for sport.
You can't shoot at living humans, legally, for sport. *
YOU'RE MAKING IT A FEDERAL CRIME TO FIRE MY WEAPON!! says epic Supreme Troll-Men.
*Though Scalia probably would somehow explain that it was the founders' intent to allow escaped slave hunting to be legal, or at the very least, let least states decide such things.
Didn't the left-wing fascists try to ram through a law that you HAD to report a stolen gun? I believe the ammosexuals vociferously protested that.
Because there's no crazy armed people threatening to run riot about turnips. Mind you, if I get served those damned red-beet eggs again, I might riot myself.
I still wonder. "He was fired from the Roanoke Police Department in December 2007 after being suspected of taking money -- something he denied, but said he couldn't fight because he was still in his probationary first year on the force."
Is an accusation of theft enough to get one fired - even during the first year probationary period?
What is clear is this is one fucked up motherfucker. Good thing he isn't a cop anymore.
Or an Ozark wedding.
The rest of his life.
What's this about auditioning a prostitute?

Don't check that box.
Well, in another decision today, the supremes ruled that Argentina is free to be violently raped by hedge fund managers.

Exactly correct: the numbskulls to one side.

Which is why we have to keep electing liberal democrats until these dinosaurs finally fossilize. With or without votes.
I demand video evidence that Scalia's lips don't move when Thomas talks.
