    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Why are you changing the topic HackMaster? She is correct about corps.

    Now back to the thread topic... Christie bases her claims that Scalia wasn't brilliant off of some hack professor at CU. Yet those that actually served on the court with Scalia state otherwise. Even his most frequent of opponents.

    Yes....eloquent is way I would describe it.....

    This was your comment: "I looked through the dissenting opinions and saw no lashing out at anyone nor any insults by Scalia...."

    Everything I posed from just one dissent was Scalia having a hissy fit and lashing out at those on the court who had the majority opinion. Only you would try to fluff it off as simply being eloquent.

    I'm not surprised you'd criticize a teacher, as if teaching isn't an honorable career.

    You guys seem pretty threatened by the fact that everybody didn't worship Scalia like you did.

    You're using argumentum ad populum here. Scalia would disapprove.

    What claim is that, moron? I said I enjoyed reading his viewpoint because I never saw any exceptional brilliance in Scalia either. I didn't try to persuade people to agree.

    You seem awfully touchy that everybody isn't kneeling to worship at the altar of Scalia.

    An argument that concludes a proposition is true because most people believe it ?

    Funny.....I think the same thing when I read all the arguments on global warming or climate change or whatever label is being used now....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    I have zero interest in global climate change so I wouldn't know.
