Today, Scalia offered the opinion of the court: DC’s ban on handguns (and disassembled/locked requirements for long guns) is unconstitutional, in a 5-4 decision. They did not incorporate the 2nd Amendment (explicitly, anyway). A few observations from the opinion - and remember, I’m not a lawyer:

The 2nd Amendment is an individual right.
The 2nd […]

Yippie! Another anti-gay marriage amendment!
Roger Wicker just introduced a joint resolution ( S. J. Res. 43 ) to propose “an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to marriage.”
This is the 6th one of these ridiculous marriage-related joint resolutions to be introduced in the past few years. None of them ever […]

On the heels of Rove’s stupid comment comes news that John McCain is having a lobbyist hosted $50,000 a plate fundraiser in Cincinnati.
Bill Sloat has the details.
I really hope nobody is seen with a beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette while standing against the wall making snide comments about […]

Seriously? If this is what they got we can go ahead and call it now CNN. This race is over. Tell me this is a ruse designed to lull us into a false sense of security in winning this election. This is LOL funny, this one:
-
Seriously. They paid someone money […]

…of the Plunderbund STFU Award. Handed out periodically to people we think should STFU. Congratulations, Ralph. You’re our winner this week!
“There’s only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He’s half African-American,” Nader told the paper in comments published Tuesday. “Whether that will make […]

Here’s an open question to anyone on the right who cares to answer it. Will the same WorldNet Wingnuts who demanded John Kerry open up his records also demand that John McCain sign Standard Form-180 and open up his military records as well? Full scrutiny is, aftterall, very important for the public to […]

The faux outrage over public financing is laughable when you remember the deal John McCain too with the devil back when he was an also-ran. Finally the Obama camp (normally timely with this type of thing), thumps Senator McCain over the head with it:
David Plouffe brought a prop to his briefing with reporter: a […]

This from a guy who considers himself a McCain fan:
“But I can confirm to you that we never tortured him. We never tortured any prisoners.”
Mr Duyet reminisces instead about how he often summoned the future US presidential candidate to his private office for informal chats.
“We used to argue about the war - about whether it […]

…and thus begins the slow walk back to sanity. Apparently cowboy diplomacy doesn’t work afterall. The shoot ‘em up style of the Bush administration (along with many wingnut bloggers who hail such jingoistic antagonism as policy) took a blow today:
Tonight, The Washington Note confirmed that the Bush administration will “ask Congress” to de-list […]

Can I just say this? These people are fucking insane! Name a damned darling of the netroots that has won a race. You can count them on less than one hand.
But for some progressive activists, the issue is not simply one of policy, but a concern that Obama’s willingness to […]

I’m also a little late turning in my YouTube Tuesday post- but I figured I’d make up for it with this list of ten songs dealing with the theme of racism.
Take a listen Jessica, you just might learn something…
Beds are Burning - Midnight Oil

Maria - Rage Against the Machine

Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey - Sly […]

The evidence is everywhere. Less people call themselves Republicans now that the NeoCons have dirtied the word up so. The GOP is in full on collapse. Less money coming in. Trouble finding qualified candidates to mount challenges in key races -cough- Ohio Attorney General - cough- . Issues polling has […]

Turning in my homework for YT Tuesdays late professor. It’s an insta-meme though. Tell me how my ass taste:
