Supreme Court finds individual right to own guns

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, for the first time in the nation's history, that individual Americans have the right to own guns for personal use, and struck down a strict gun control law in the nation's capital.

The landmark 5-4 ruling marked the first time in nearly 70 years that the high court has addressed whether the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, rather than a right tied to service in a state militia.

The 4 die-hard leftists really need to be tried for treason; but no matter how wrong-headed, unconstitutional, and anti-American their opinions are, the leftists are at least capable of coherent thought.

Like O'Connor, Kennedy seems to have NO Judicial philosophy at all, and his arguments lack even a vague semblance of logic.  I'm guessing that he just flips a coin before voting.

I agree that "Justice" Kennedy seems to use a "digital decision meter" to decide his vote on cases.  I cannot see how he could explain his votes over the last several days in any logical, rational fashion.  It simply makes no sense to accept clear, original intent one day and ignore the same, clear original intent on the next.  

You always know where 3 of the justices are but you are never quite sure how moronic Souter and Kennedy will be on any given day.
