If you're in Washington State

Posted by David Hardy · 30 July 2010 08:52 AM

I wouldn't know anything of Washington judges, but I rec'd an email from Alan Gottlieb endorsing Richard Sanders. His webpage is here. Alan notes that Sanders voted, prior to Chicago, in favor of the 2A being incorporated. Alan writes:

"Sanders wrote, "Gun ownership is an inexorable birthright of American tradition. Americans who participated in the Revolution of 1776 and adopted the Bill of Rights held the individual right to have and use arms against tyranny to be fundamental.” State v. Sieyes, 225 P.3d 995 (2010)

Our gun rights are fundamental! I couldn't have said it better myself!

Of course this isn't the only opinion from Justice Sanders on gun rights. In a closely divided court he fiercely dissented from a terrible majority opinion in Pacific NW Shooting Park v. Sequim 158 Wn.2d 342 (2006) that allowed the sheriff to shut down a gun show in clear violation of state statute.

And in State v. Carter 151 Wn.2d 118 (2004) he demanded in dissent that police have a search warrant before disassembling a weapon. And there are many, many more opinions from this exceptional jurist protecting our gun rights."

FWIW - a Judge Richard Sanders was referenced as heckling AG Mukasey at a Federalist Society Dinner in Nov. 2008. Apparently he stood up and shouted, "Tyrant! You are a tyrant!".

Thanks JD for the link. Looks like this man should be appointed to the USSC. He would have my vote!

I've enjoyed a few face to face discussions with Justice Sanders about a property taking in Seattle and the laws surrounding our "semi" "Public" sports stadiums as well as general discussions about freedom. He is a hero of the cause of Freedom in our state and a voice for Liberty in our country. If you would like to help his web site is www.friendsofjustice.com
