LOL! That's a hoot Chris...You think Ruth Darth Vader Ginsburg gives a rat's behind about the Constitution? Her legal background from the ACLU involves sending threatening letters about lawsuits to schools if they call something Christmas instead of Holiday... or defending Nambla in their quest to rape every child in America. There is no Supreme Court now...it's just 4 Libs & 4 Cons...with Kennedy the Moderate. He's the most powerful man in America right now.

Cit, I rather think that the plain and simple fact that I can find the revelant bits of discussion in what amounts to well over a hundred and some pages worth of discussions and speeches would likely be an indicator that I am somewhat familiar with the source material, perhaps ?

No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Notice I said "...just a bit less...".
I really don't know. I read pretty much the entire decision and the dissenting arguments don't seem to hold much water, as well as being answered very well in the majority finding. I'd like to think that the dissenting justices were actually defending their understanding of the 2nd Amendment, But the fact that they're the four most Liberal on the Court makes me wonder if they didn't have an agenda.

In some cases it may, since we're all human and can't avoid being subjective to some extent, based on our beliefs. But someone's gotta decide points of constitutional law, and it should probably be folk who are at least well trained and experienced. We can't just throw up our hands and say that since no one can be perfectly objective (except perhaps you and me
) nothing should ever be decided.If you have any suggestions on some system that might be more objective than the Supreme Court, I'd be glad to hear it, 'cause I got nothin' better to suggest right now.

1) Make Justices get paid no more than an average attorney, but with a better retirement package.
2) Select them based on test scores (tests for knowledge of Constitution, ability to be objective, disdain of corruption, etc.).
