    Dirty Dozen II

    ‎"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions."
    --James Madison
    'Letter to Edmund Pendleton', 1792

      The cases authorizing actions of the kind at issue are too firmly fixed in the punitive and remedial jurisprudence of the country now to be displaced.
      Holy cow, so the Court basically said that if government and officials have been violating rights and the Constitution for some period of time, that makes it okay!

      Getting called a DOJ shill has become a rite of passage around here. I've certainly been called that more than once - I've even seen Kes get called that. I haven't seen Red-O get called that yet, which is very suspicious to me, and means he's probably a DOJ shill.

          Not sure about the Miller one. I think the lower courts interpretation of that case made it bad, the opinion wasn't good but not horrible either. As I recall the court was focused on the weapon itself, not on whether the gang banger defendants were militia members.

              Yeah, I agree, I think they confused Miller with later lower court misinterpretations of it.
