Sotomayor Takes Axe to Second Amendment
Won’t answer whether she believes there’s a right to self-defense.
The U.S. Senate must vote NO on Judge Sonia Sotomayor!
In defending her decision that the states could enact any form of gun control they wished — with absolutely no regard to the Second Amendment — Judge Sonya Sotomayor has developed a new love for Nineteenth Century court opinions.
Demonstrating that she was programmed in her responses, Sotomayor defended one of her earlier legal opinions by citing “footnote 23? of Justice Antonin Scalia’s opinion in the DC v. Heller case last year.
But, when pressed by questioner Orrin Hatch yesterday, Sotomayor could not recite the contents of that footnote or the holdings of the cases which it cited. As it turns out, the footnote on which Sotomayor claims to rely, cited — without approval — two Nineteenth Century cases which rejected the notion that the Second Amendment was ‘incorporated’ to apply to the states.

Sotomayor couldn’t come up with any law(s) that acknowledged/supported the right to self defense? Wellll now, perhaps the Wise Latina Woman doesn’t beleive in the “right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happniess, with emphasis on “…right to life…”! She couldn’t answer a simple yes or not when asked if one has the right to defend one’s self……there’s a judicial officer who should scare hell outta anyone.
This could bite her and the other Marxist Commies in the butt. What she is advocating is “nullification”, (of course this is nullification of the highest order, nullifying the Constitution) But if that is acceptable, surely nullification of “normal” pieces of legislation would have to be proper.
