Subject: RE: BS: Rightie Supremes in a Pickle???
The Constitution doesn't specifially say that folks can carry guns into a court room either, John... That's the problem when folks say the "Constition doesn't say ____________... Nor does the Constitution specifically say that the federal goevrment cannot force people to buy helath insurance....
If we take the NRA side then federal rights rights trump state rights in that states cannot do anytghing that may infringe on one's right to "bear arms"... That means guns anywhere people want to "bear" them, right???
The problem here is that there is a federalist isssue here and the Court has a delimma on it's hands... If a state cannot "legally" ban someone from taking a gun into a ____________ (you pick) then how can it "legally" decide to opt out of a national health care program???
