Sen. Chuck Grassley scored one this week for the gun-haters.
The US Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear an appeal of state laws banning military-style assault rifles. That means that bans in New York and Connecticut may stand, because the Supreme Court can’t decide much of anything these days. It is deadlocked between four liberal justices and four judicial activists posing as conservatives. Grassley refuses to give a hearing to President Obama’s nominee, whose judicial record looks more like John Roberts’ than Thurgood Marshall’s.

"The Supreme Court says we can ban assault rifles."
On another website I visit, a lawyer in discussing this case pointed out that SCOTUS actually said no such thing.
It simply refused to accept the case. It is wrong to infer that this would lead to any particular conclusion had the court actually taken the case.
The court cannot hear every case that comes to it.
It is regretable the court refused the case and did not both take it, and decide in our favor, but that's the breaks.

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
