texas court makes new law out of thin air, negates a right of the people

[domer76]

then they are not rights, just privileges to be modified or removed at the will of the government. but you hate rights, so you probably prefer that.

rights ARE absolute, dicksucker

Says who, “vehicles cannot be necessary”? You?

[domer76]

your idiocy is showing again. the constitution limits the government, it does not define our rights, or their limits. that is because our rights are absolute, which is why you see 'SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED'..........so federal gun regulations based on the commerce clause are unconstitutional and should be null and void, but you'd like to see your enemies killed by the government, wouldn't you, traitor?

There you go again, idiot, with your “infringed” bullshit.

Write SCOTUS with your legal opinion, dumbfuck. I’m sure they’ll give it all the consideration it deserves. lol

Why can't they?

Even if the issue is a Federal one, they can still hear the case and make a ruling so long as the underlying issue involves a state claim.

The Texas Supreme Court only hears civil cases.

True, but I'm pretty sure he is arguing a 2nd amendment issue.

It only involves the interpretation of a state law. I doubt a federal court would take the case on 2nd Amendment grounds.

When I was young a lifetime ago, carrying a long arm or a handgun at your waist in parts of CA or AK or OR or UT, etc., did not cause excitement or alarm.

That is not the case now. The Constitution is a living document that must adapt and govern change in an ever morphing world.

Causing excitement or alarm has nothing to do with the Constitution. It only deals with a Texas law. There is not an issue of whether Texas can regulate carrying of long guns, so how the 2nd Amendment is interpreted is irrelevant. Those who want more gun control are not thwarted by constitutional interpretation but by legislative bodies that choose not to impose tougher laws.

SCOTUS does not have authority over the Constitution. They can neither interpret nor change the Constitution.

WRONG. See Texas Constitution Article 5.

Irrelevant. No court has the authority to change the constitution. No State has authority to ignore the Constitution and remain a State of the Union.

The Constitution is not a 'living document'. That's just doublespeak for no constitution at all. It can only be modified by the process contained within the Constitution itself.

The law in question does not mention 'excitement' or 'alarm'.

No, they are thwarted by an inherent right of Man and the 2nd amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which is binding upon the States.

open carry of long guns has been legal in TX for decades and while many cities have not liked it, they've had to deal with it. On occasion we'd end up with some idiot cop or another writing a disorderly conduct ticket, which usually gets thrown out because the language of the statute is too vague and doesn't describe activity that's disorderly. It simply states 'a manner calculated to alarm'..............and the US Supreme Court set precedent decades ago that the mere exercise of a right cannot be converted in to a crime...........well the TX criminal court of appeals just took that right away with the above ruling by redefining 'calculated to alarm' in to 'likely to alarm'.

Even Texas is waking up.

That's your opinion and you are sticking to it.

Almost, but not quite as corny as "your relatives in the zoo," keep trying, you can still top that one

Just like a freeloader expecting to get paid when someone else is already supporting him.

The second amendment doesn't guarantee rights to all arms. It also doesn't give you the right to interrupt people's peaceful lives, just so you can flaunt your arms. Carrying a long gun doesn't fit the situation anyway. I'd love to see someone try, and do certain tasks lugging something like that along.

Fuck you didn't stay away very long!!
