There is no conspiracy here, just a well thought out strategic plan to move the progressive agenda forward which, if you study history, began about 100 years ago. If you will stop looking at what has and is occurring with a closed mind it will be very obvious what is occurring and why! We are talking about the RTKABA's here, but this is just a SMALL part of what is going on in the world today. They MUST continue to disarm us to complete their plan and they are well on the way to doing this because we allow them to. Look at the far reaching 'regulations' enforced by the MANY Federal Bureau's which do not allow us any 'due process' if we are fined or imprisoned for violating these 'regulations'! This is just the tip of the iceberg. Because of the tornado damage here we got introduced to 'Agenda 21' in a big way!!!
Like I said, no conspiracy here, just a lot of 'useful idiot' (their language not mine) who refuse to see what they are up to and why.
"Fundamental transformation" at it's best!!!
They are 'dumb like a fox' as my Grandma would say!

Just look at a picture of the SCOTUS. There are people there who should have retired a decade or more ago. There is one old bat that they have to prop her up so it looks like she is still alive. I would guess that some of them could be swayed by anyone who presents an argument. Whoever is the last one to present an argument will control the result of the vote.

More importantly, look at the two most recent appointees!
Both of them are liberal secular progressive extremists who are not even qualified to be municipal traffic court judges, but they are GODS to some here. They will see to it that the progressive agenda is put ahead of the Constitution every change they get. This is fact, not opinion! They have already shown their true colors.
So who here thinks they are 'better' qualified to apply the law than we are!!!

I say again 'Who here thinks they (the last two appointees) are more qualified to apply the law than we (the people) are??????

Believe me I am not shocked, this is business as usual as I see it. But some take what the government says, through the courts, is not challenge-able !! They think the Justices are GODS if not super human and incapable of corruption and/or following their own agenda by not supporting the Constitution.

Yup, couldnt agree with you more.

The problem is that, what this ALL boils down to, at the very END of the day, is your asking the Federal Government to police itself.

Well, hows that workin for ya?

The SCOTUS is a limb of the Federal Government and prone to all the same pitfalls as Congress and the POTUS. Many here do not recognize this intigral fault.

All of that said the original use of the SCOTUS by the founders was highly limited. It was feared greatly as a result of abuses by Britain. Reading the writing of the founders today many wonder WHY they were so fearful, but we see a little more day by day why they were fearful.

[AIKIJUTSU]

Yep. The SCOTUS is, in effect, legislating via its selective judgement of the validity/invalidity, and its interpretation of the laws.
The founding fathers made a significant error when they appended the clause "A well-regulated militia..." to "the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed". If they'd just let the latter clause stand alone, we wouldn't be having all this conflict.

You have done a pretty good job of convincing me that they are far more qualified than you are. But then again you have done a pretty good job of convincing me that my ex-dry good little brother is more qualified.

Are you on pain meds? You are starting to remind me and the guys I work with, and my older brother who have been on prescription opiates for the last decade. Their ability to reason is also severely impaired.

I think your off base...how does accusing someone of drug use do anything but discredit yourself? He asked an honest question, which apparently, no one has an intelligent rebuttle to...
