Sandy Froman on the election and future Supreme Courts

Posted by David Hardy · 15 May 2008 08:38 PM

Here's Sandy's latest Townhall column, on that subject. She makes some excellent points.

Update: typo corrected, thanks.

If what Sandy says regarding the Supreme Court nominations is true, and Senator McCain is the best hope for gun owners to get their type of justices on the Supreme Court, then why in the world is former Congressman Bob Barr making a bid for the Independent party's presidential nomination? I thought Congressman Barr was suppose to be an ally to gun owners. I can only see him taking votes away from Senator McCain, which according to Sandy would be a very bad thing. Can someone explain this to me? Does Congressman Barr believe that he might take votes away from Senators Obama or Clinton, thereby helping out Senator McCain? I don't see this as a likely outcome.

Barr is running because his ego has compelled him to. Or because he has an ax to grind. Or because he craves media attention.

He is not running because he thinks it would be good for the US. He is much to intelligent to believe anything like that.

SEBASTIAN at Snowflakesinhell LIVEBLOGGED McCain's NRA speech: "The theme seems to be 'I suck a little, but my opponents suck more.'"

Voting for McCain is like voting for George H.W. Bush after he signed the "assault weapon" import ban executive order. In your heart, you know you shouldn't reward duplicity.

The NRA is going to have an uphill battle getting it's more intelligent members to support this unrepentant Turkey.

I have no illusions about McInsane, but it is worth pointing out that he is no worse than GW Bush on 2A issues, and in fact, opposes a renewal of the AWB, while Bush said he'd sign it.

David:

Are you saying you'd vote for Ronald Reagan because he was hard on communism but harder on machine guns (18 USC 922 (o))?


Please do not vote for McCain if you gun a gun not made by Remington and can take detach mags. He'll turn right around and ban assault weapons anyway. He's lying about Assault Weapons. That's what politicians (and the NRA for that matter) do.

I don't get why there is so much butthurt going around these days.

McCain-Feingold is essentially gutted from FEC v WRTL. There is essentially nothing left to argue over.

McCain isn't going to get his gun show loophole bill.

McCain has had opportunities to vote for assault weapons in the past, back when it wasn't considered politically risky and he voted against it.

Jim, would you give any other thief a pass because his robbery attempt was mostly foiled?
