Fuck You Stevens

Former Supreme Court Justice Urges Total Repeal Of The Second Amendment

 

[Deplorable Me]

In time our three branches of government would be deemed obsolete by the dictator too......

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Ok then, as long as we tie all the rest to it then we can talk.

 

[Grimscale]

Thank you for displaying your bias.
Now, if you were on the bench for ANY gun-related case, it must now be revisited.

 

[2WheelGnnr]

good thing retired as obviously he is out of his EVER LOVING MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As said in the other thread on this swamp monster.

There is no news here and Parkland changed nothing with retired swamp monster Justice Stevens. It is no suprise that the New York Times is once again dusting off works of this jerk to make him relevant again. Remember four years ago this old senile justice became the darling of the progressive left and the New York Times when he wrote a book and hit the talk show circuit suggesting changes to the Constitution. He was always against private ownership of guns.

He suggests that Americans should only have the right to arms while serving in the militia.

He insists Congress should limit free speech rights / spending of Conservative Pacs but not liberal unions. Years ago he called for a change to the Constitution so the like of the NRA could not endorse candidates, make donations, or lobby but he wanted wording to not limit AARP, the teachers associations or planned parenthood.

He says the Constitution should ban Capital punishment.

He strongly opposes term limits.

He believes there should be no laws against widely used recreational drugs.

He endorses the continuation of quota systems.

He essentially wants the Constitution changed to have judges and not the states determine election districts.

He was known to ridicule Scalia, and praise Ginsberg.

He was a strong proponent of government ownership and seizure of private property constantly battleing Scalia's strong stands on property rights.

The New York Times is doing all it can do right now to placate the Soros ilk. In this nation we have rights and the New York Times editors can not limit Americans to what this rag sanctimoniously thinks we need.

Oh. Who would have known? I always thought SCOTUS was fair and unbiased and ruled as per the Constitution.

 

[fartgamer]

There’s a process in the Constitution jackass, try it.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

And a hardy fuck you to you too!

 

[togmaster]

He's still butt hurt over Heller.

 

[Justincase]

And my liberal co-workers routinely ask, "do you really think people are coming for your guns?"

Yes. Yes, I do.

 

[Mosinitis]

They are all anti-gun, he is just honest about it. The others are playing their pro-gun role to give us worthless minority opinions.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Exactly why they shouldn't be a life appointed position. They really need to up his meds.

 

[Celt]

It really, really pisses me off when people talk like this.

If this washed up scumbag happens to go up through the Pearly Gates I hope that the founding fathers beat his fucking ass.

 

[ProgSpear]

^^^^ And I hope he drags Notorious RBG with him. Soon.

 

[Bob]

I'm getting tired of these peoople talking about repealing the Second Amendment. It was even trending on Twitter today. If you're so serious about repealing it, sack up and get the process rolling. Either do something about it or shut the fuck up.

 

[Twogunwilly]

Die and save us some pension $ scumbag

p.s. blow me

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I guess at least we could appreciate the honesty. It's something we don't often get from gun controllers. He's wrong and treasonous in my opinion, but at least he got to the frigging point.

 

[livingston]

He is writing the script for every Republican campaign ad this November. ... IF they are willing to use it ...

"John Paul Stevens is an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1975 until his retirement in 2010."

anyone know of any cases off hand ..

PS ... "Former Supreme Court Justice" they say "served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court" ... so what was he really .. ??

That may be one of the biggest flaws in the constitution. Going through all the effort of diversifying power, in order to simply consolidate it in the hands of a few lifetime appointed judges. With a consistently split legislature, the chances of getting a judge removed by 2/3 vote is simply unimaginable.

 

[Mosinitis]

Looking back over the past 4 decades or more, there is no evidence that the make up of the Supreme Court had any substantive influence on gun rights. Heller was a BS ruling that forbid a total ban, but allowed any restrictions that the government deems reasonable. There is no such provision for any other right. In other words, lets call it a right but not treat it like a right. We were better off without such ruling.

Marbury v. Madison is when SCOTUS initiated their power grab, and nobody has slapped them down yet. Theoretically, the Ninth Amendment should be invoked to give them a swift kick.

Great article. It ends with:

Sure, it’s slightly odd that you think that we can’t deport 11 million people but we can search 123 million homes. But that’s just the price we have to pay. Times have changed. It has to be done: For the children; for America; for the future. Hey hey, ho ho, the Second Amendment has to go. Let’s do this thing.​

 

[Mosinitis]

Liberals push gun control, conservatives do nothing to stop it except talk, write articles and worthless minority opinions on the SC. This bullshit is getting old.

 

[Steal2B]

I fail to see how an anti-2A opinion from a retired justice, who was without question the most liberal member of the Court, is news or even warrants publication. He was the leader of the liberal side of the bench and had an historical voting record to the left of Ginsberg. Gerald Ford was a moron to nominate this leftie as an olive branch to the enraged post watergate left.

Well...we don't have many conservatives representing us in congress. We've mostly got go-along-get-along Republicans which are merely the right wing of the Democrat party.

I want to know where all of the constitutionalists are.

All of these go-along get-along republicans and SC justices were endorsed by the Conservative party. If they actually did something, Conservative party would have less to talk about. This is why we are screwed by both sides.

This is why the left keeps pumping RBG full of viagra or whatever it is that keeps her upright, because if Trump gets to appoint another Gorsuch or two, I think their 2A Repeal wet dream is over.
