In another post today I indicated pretty much what Hawkins says in this article. We certainly are only one Supreme Court justice away from being like the French. We might not even be that far away because Justice Kennedy can go either way. For me it is a forgone conclusion that the court will turn liberal and legislate from the bench to take away our constitutional rights if Obama appoints the next Justices. When men and women in black robes become socialist engineers our nation will no longer be united.
Only One Justice Away from Being French – HUMAN EVENTS
The more news coverage of the Supreme Court’s “historic” decision upholding the Second Amendment I saw the more depressed I became. Though I’m grateful for the way the decision fell, I could not help being appalled by the fact that only 5 out of 9 justices now believe that the Constitution is constitutional. In short, the United States is only one liberal Supreme Court justice away from being judicially transformed into France.
Each semester in my American History courses on the university campus, I explain to my students that the 2nd Amendment is the only amendment which contains the words, “necessary to the security of a free state.” If you take away the 2nd Amendment you take away security, plain and simple. The kind of security free men know and love; the kind of security hundreds of thousands of our military men and women have died to restore to failing European nations; the kind friends of mine revel in when they get their concealed carry permits and say, “Frenchmen can’t do this.”
Yet the magnitude of this issue persuades me that I have not said enough, and that I even understated the seriousness of this matter in my opening paragraph when I indicated that only 5 out 9 justices now believe the Constitution to be constitutional. Therefore, in the interest of freedom and clarity of speech, I am determined that the next time a student asks about gun rights or a friend about concealed carry licenses, I will take the time in both situations to remind them that we are now only one liberal justice away from being transformed into Frenchmen.
