Not a good comparison. You are grasping at straws. ( paper or plastic )

TA82 is 100% correct when he says that I was wrong about the "sole purpose" being to maintain a militia. I got off track because I was trying to be clever. In my mind I was still just trying to prove that the "sole purpose" was not just to prevent tyranny, but I had cut my legs out from under myself by using the same "sole purpose" language.

So in this case I am admitting that I was wrong. I still say TA82 was wrong with his claim about the "sole purpose", but he is correct that the Supremem Court has ruled that the right to bear arms is separate from belonging to a militia. Funny how he loves judicial activism when it fits his beliefs.



Judicial activism ? Do you even know the purpose of the Supreme Court ?

It is a perfect comparison.

Parks knew she would get arrested and The Gov probably knows her order will get struck down in court.

They were both making symbolic gestures to keep the issue in the national debate needed to solve a problem.

I was being sarcastic.

The right is famous for squealing about "judicial activism" when they disagree with an opinion, but not a peep when they favor the opinion.

Conservatives get justifiably upset when a Leftist judge, (or justices), invents "law", or abuses the plain language of the law, to further their Leftist social activism in contravention to statute and / or the Constitution.

When such judicial overreaches are corrected, such as the reversal of Roe v Wade, the Left doesn't just "squeal", they riot, attempt to assassinate a SCOTUS Justice, and criminally harass other Justices and their families by "protesting" outside their private homes.

That reminded me of how Republicans react when their candidate for President loses the election.




Leftist Republicans? Who knew?
