It might not have to do with the 2nd amendment but they are still protecting someones right to keep a gun in their car no matter their reason for doing so.you are taking one quote and saying that is their basic issue.
Read my post of their joint statement. Kind of seems like they protecting the gun owner's rights to me.
You should go re-read the statement. How much you see about the 2nd amendment in there? It's not even a 2nd amendment case to begin with, it is a case dealing with Texas statutory law. Go back and read it and you'll see what it is about and why the ACLU was involved.
Mind you, I think the ACLU was right in their position, but it had absolutely zero to do with the 2nd amendment.
I agree but when I was watching the appointment I was not up on my politics, I pretty much didn't care to investigate for myself and went along with what someone told me. And like Jillian said he is jurist and I feel he is not usually partisan.
And as for Alito, I don't even want to start on him. I think he is far right extremist who has no place on the supreme court and Thomas is his lap dog.
From the article:
No real damage done here.Souter's retirement would give President Obama his first appointment to the high court, and most observers expect that he will appoint a woman.
The court currently has one female justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is recovering from cancer surgery.
An Obama pick would be unlikely to change the ideological makeup of the court. Souter, though appointed by the first President Bush, generally votes with the more liberal members of the court, a group of four that is in a rather consistent minority.
Don't worry... the damage was done by Baby Bush.

Though I will admit to a soft spot for Bader Ginsberg... just because she's a brooklyn girl.
Oh! the right loves to toss around unpartriotic, anti american, unchristian like and quite a big more than us moonbats. Have you ever hear me say the NRA is anti american? I can't remember that last time I referred to anyone as anti american.I guess the Bill Of Rights is anti american also. And I also love how repugs always get decide what is anti american.I'm not the idiot.. The ACLU is as Anti American as it gets.
No moreso than you moonbats try to decide what is anti american.
some say she is against the ruling of roe v wade, not abortion but the ruling. I will have to do some googling!Though I will admit to a soft spot for Bader Ginsberg... just because she's a brooklyn girl.
I'm sure Bader Ginsburg is a good person and all, but I see her as sort of the Scalia of the left. She's too tied to ideology, and I think her decisions will break on ideological grounds rather than legal ones more often than not. I suppose that is true of many judges.

I don't know if Roberts is the best justice on the court because, to me, where the decision lands is part of the analysis and Roberts is way too far to the right for me. As I said, i was always a huge Souter fan. I'm sorry he's leaving. And I still think losing O'Connor was a shame.

I actually saw O Connor from a distance right before she retired. She came here for a convention and than went fly fishing in Idaho or Montana, can't remember which. There is someone who also change while on the court.

roe v wade reached a correct result but is one of the most badly written decisions ever... it's why the anti-choice folk love going after it.
I'd venture it's true of most judges. It's a rare one who can walk the fence. Do you think Sotomayor will be the replacement? I figure it's likely to be a woman...

Every chance to take a swing, huh? Have you ever once refered to him as President Bush? I bet not.
what would be a real shock is if he picked Janice Rodgers BrownI'd venture it's true of most judges. It's a rare one who can walk the fence. Do you think Sotomayor will be the replacement? I figure it's likely to be a woman...
I think Sotomayor would be a fairly good pick, and she would breeze through. I think she would make a lot of the far-left a bit angry, because she's not an extremist.
I wonder if Obama would pass her over simply because she was a Bush appointee to the federal bench? Doesn't seem like he would.

Yeah, Roe is poorly written. The decision itself is completely scatter-brained as to its own rationale.

to differentiate him from daddy bush
did i ever refer to him as president bush? I actually have to think about that. I did his father.

So, how did President Bush damage the court? He put up two highly qualified nominees that were both confirmed. It didn't change the balance of the court. Both replaced conservative leaning Justices, though O'Connor was more moderate, she voted right much more than she voted left. So what damage was done? Or was this another one of those "jillian didn't like W so you'll just blame him for shit that didn't really happen moments?"
