Too annoying to go back and pull quotes:

Intent vs. Intended:
There are 2, count 'em 2, sentences in the quote. Try using them both.

Publishing:
Writing on the bathroom wall is STILL publishing and the government can't stop you from doing so. The owner of that wall however, is completely within his/her property rights to not allow you to deface/damage their property. After all, your rights end, where someone else’s begins.

2nd amendment:
Fissionable material is a health hazard and regulated under those auspices, and you also have to find someone willing to sell it to you. The 2nd amendment allows you to have a weapon; it does not guarantee the availability of any weapon you desire.

Well regulated militia:
Learn what a dependant and independent clause/phrase is and your confusion will go away.

Self incrimination:
So eye witnesses to a crime must be blindfolded before being allowed to identify a criminal so that the suspect's own body (physical appearance) can't be used to convict them? Yeah... try again.

Search:
Car is personal property and property is protected in the Constitution. Once more, try again.

Words:
Meaning/Usage of words do change over time. That is why when reading a document you MUST use the definition in place when the document was written. That was his whole freaking point.

Bill of Rights:
I completely fail to grasp whatever point you thought you were making.

Judicial Review:
No it is not a specific power granted to them; feel free to come up with a better method though. However, they are expressly granted authority "to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party" and well if I am attempting to sue the US to strike down a law, I am definitely engaging in a controversy "..to which the United States shall be a Party"

Drugs:
Marijuana and other drugs are banned under the FDA using the interstate commerce clause. Frankly I think the ISC clause is the most overused and abused clause in the Constitution. The Obamacare ruling is one of the few to place ANY restrictions on its use, and IMO didn't go far enough.

Florida 2000:
SCOTUS ruled that Florida had to abide by Florida's own law which stated that the election had to be certified by a specific date. SCOTUS simple overruled FL's high court that decided the state did not have to abide by its own law. SCOTUS did not change FL's election law. They did not "hand the election" to someone. They prevented FL's court form changing the rules of the election after the election had already been held. PLEASE stop trying to rewrite history.

SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia is brilliant, just brilliant - - 11/12/2012 05:09:19 AM 987 Views
WTF does "I don’t care what their intent was. I care what it was that they intended" mean? - 11/12/2012 09:03:23 PM 554 Views
Yeah I read that twice to see if that was right *NM* - 11/12/2012 09:36:55 PM 269 Views
Part of me pities Scalias decline, because he could once nimbly and convincly argue black is white. - 12/12/2012 07:09:56 PM 526 Views

Your whole rant lacks any logic - 12/12/2012 03:46:34 PM 560 Views
+1 - logic is not his strong suit. *NM* - 12/12/2012 04:21:09 PM 222 Views
His comment references the authors (NOT words) intent in both negative and affirmative. - 12/12/2012 06:45:02 PM 519 Views

The SCotUS is no place for raging homophobes. - 13/12/2012 04:48:30 AM 655 Views
Sorry you don't like it, but what he said is true. - 13/12/2012 03:11:42 PM 575 Views
Lol. Homophobia is synonymous w/ homonegativism. It's not meant to convey a true phobia *NM* - 13/12/2012 03:28:01 PM 333 Views
So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? - 13/12/2012 09:56:15 PM 600 Views
Re: So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? - 13/12/2012 11:16:46 PM 548 Views
-phobe : Greek -phobos, adj. derivative of phóbos fear, panic - 13/12/2012 11:32:14 PM 562 Views
Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing. - 14/12/2012 01:30:24 AM 487 Views
xenophobia is the fear of the alien... WTF are you trying to say? - 14/12/2012 03:03:09 AM 552 Views
No. You are patently, objectively incorrect. - 14/12/2012 08:39:00 AM 479 Views
An aside. - 14/12/2012 01:21:32 PM 559 Views
Don't believe me, ask a Greek it is after all THEIR word. I gave you some extra capitals, happy now? *NM* - 14/12/2012 02:56:09 PM 336 Views
