Previously I reported here about the San Francisco based three-judge panel of the Ninth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals and their recent ruling that the "right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" (the Second Amendment to our Consitution) somehow does not apply to the right of individuals to own weapons banned under California law.

These activist judges, in an attempt to pervert both the Consititutionally guaranteed separation of powers and the words and intent of the framers of the Constitution for their own liberally biased agendas, by substituting the appellate judges' political views for rational and legally sound Constitutional review have attempted to make up inot down and black into white using demonstrably false data. Late last week, that three-judge panel of the court, ruled on a challenge to California's ban on private ownership of certain semiautomatic firearms> They discarded the meaning of common English language words and concluded that the phrase "the people" in the Second Amendment refers not to individual citizens, as "the people" is interpreted in other constitutional language, but instead refers to the right of state governments to arm a handful of persons for some purpose or other that is not specified.

Here is a quotation from that mindless perversion of reality they choose to call a "decision:"

"The historical record makes it equally plain that the amendment was not adopted in order to afford rights to individuals with respect to private gun ownership or possession."

Admittedly leftist Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote that opinion and went on to add:

"The Amendment protects the people's right to maintain an effective state militia, and does not establish an individual right to own or possess firearms for personal or other use."

This is the standard idiocy upon which gun-grabbers and leftists always base their arguments and it is patently mindless of them> It denies the realities that forged this nation and upon which its Constitution was written. We have the exact recorded words of the men who wrote the Amendments and they show this panel of activist judges attemptiong to legislate from the bench to be the specific reason such Amendments were required in the first place.

Remember your elementary school history lessons? The former colonies (states) refused to ratify the Constitution as it had been written without the inclusion of the Bill of Rights... the statement of the newly formed government recognizing and acknowledging the unalienable rights of the citizens of the new nation being formed and prohibiting the new government formed from interferring with, infringing upon or denying those rights to the citizens... the people!"

Former (Thank God) President Bubba and his boy blunder, Algore, both said similar things over that miserable eight year assault on freedom. They, like the ill-informed Judges Reinhardt and Goodwin, claim the federal government "gives the citizens of this nation the freedoms set forth in the Bill of Rights."

HOGWASH!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL of the Bill of Rights were written for a single purpose. They prohibited the newly formed central, state and local governments from any assault on what they knew to be pre-existing, God-given, HUMAN rights, not to "afford" any rights as some sort of boon or gift to the people from the government.

The decision just handed down, contained a number of written footnotes. According to the decision and the footnotes they included, the perverted left-think legal basis for the decision relied heavily on the claim that the "historical record makes it plain..." It turns out, based on their own words, that these judges relied totally on the now-discredited "research" of one Michael Bellesiles, a profesor at Emory University here in Atlanta. Bellesiles was forced to admit that he had concocted and falsified much of, if not all of, his "historical research" and falsely analyzed data to support his personal beliefs. Even the openly socialist-leaning members of his own faculty at Emory took him to task and formally reprimanded him as well for his "proved academic dishonesty and falsifications."

THAT is the "historical record that makes it plain.." upon which this group of black-robed thieves made their decision. It was nothing more than disorder in the court based on dishonesty in research. It is only through dishonesty and the misguided interpretation of these "progressives" that government grants the people freedom that such arrogance can flourish. All ten of the Amendments that made up the Bill of Rights had a single intent. Their purpose was to put such tyrannical despots as Bubba and Boy Blunder, Tom Daschle, Jim Jeffords, Teddy Kennedy, Hilarious and these would-be judicial thieves of freedom in San Francisco on perpetual notice that our... the people's... rights are ours alone. They are not subject to their intepretation and the government may not interfere with any those individual rights.

Perhaps it is time once again, as it was in 1776, to let the government hooligans know that we teh people created them and entrusted them with their "high offices." It is not, and never should be, the other way around. We don't need government to "grant us rights." Our Creator did and the Constitution is there to make sure the government and those who work for it remember that or pay the price of all tyrants.

It is far past time for Congress to impeach these men and women on that Circuit Court and remove them from all public office forever. Perhaps then the rest of their brethern in robes will learn that they may not attempt to steal our freedom with impunity. "... the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and BEAR arms shall not be infringed," seems to be pretty straight-forward, simple, unequivocable English to me. The Constitution established a federal judiciary for a single purpose only, as a final fail-safe for the people against efforts of efforts by the other two branches should they attempt to steal our guaranteed, Divinely endowed freedoms. We the people are their clients, not a tyrannical government our forefathers knew enough to distrust over 225 years ago.
