You should've seen t...Conservatives are morons. You should've seen the blog comments I saw after the 7th Circuit released their decision upholding Chicago's handgun ban. Even though they decision was made by two prominent conservative judges, Posner and Easterbrook, there were howls about the "distortion" of the plain meaning of the 2nd Amendment. What actually happened, which is clear to anyone with a brain who bothers to read the opinion, is that Easterbrook and Posner were clearly constrained by Supreme Court precedent on the matter. The said as much, repeatedly, in a way that to me seems as if they were practically begging for Supreme Court review and reversal. Their decision was the exact opposite of judicial "activism" in that it was moderate and restrained, but because it didn't reach the "right" political outcome the legacy of the 2nd Amendment was betrayed. Utter and complete morons.Alexander Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041808057755360625noreply@blogger.com
