NYT Lock and Load - Supreme Court Ruling on Gun Rights
June 27th, 2008 | by jeff | | Post to NewsCloud »That last part is the final indignity of the decision: when the justices go to work at the Supreme Court, guns will still be banned. When most Americans show up at their own jobs, they will not have that protection. This audaciously harmful decision, which hands the far right a victory it has sought for decades, is a powerful reminder of why voters need to have the Supreme Court firmly in mind when they vote for the president this fall. Senator John McCain has said he would appoint justices like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito - both of whom supported this decision. If the court is allowed to tip even further to the far right, there will be even more damage done to the rights and the safety of Americans.
