Our Prediction Post Heller Decision Has Come True - Feds Use It As Excuse to Invade Rights
from Liberty Conspiracy Audios · host Liberty Conspiracy
When the US Supreme Court issued its decision in the Heller case (Dick Heller was a DC resident who sued over the District's restrictions on the 2nd Amendment) many so-called "conservatives" and "small government libertarians" and "Constitutionalists" cheered. We did not. In his conclusion to the majority opinion Antonin Scalia did something very bad to the English language and to the definition of the word "right". Find out why our observation of this bad precedent, and our predictions about that error were prescient, and why it has a bearing on all future debates over all rights, not solely the right to self-defense. Can you believe that a politically appointed judge actually implied that the right to self-defense can be attenuated? Listen, and you'll see! We have that AND a visit from fellow Conspirator Malcolm, who offers his thoughts on Diane Feinstein, St. Patrick's Day, and more! Plus music by Vintage Trouble, Leogun, and Grinderman! No songs listed in this case, because we'd like you to investigate the bands and buy some of their stuff! Be Seeing You!
