Waiting for the Big One
The "Big One" being the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Heller. Dave Hardy explains why the anticipation is so high.
This is the most important decision in decades. Not just the most important [Second Amendment] case. In terms of number of Americans interested, it beats every other issue in decades -- probably the school desegregation cases and Roe v. Wade are its only competitors in a half a century. The Court simply MUST get it on the nose. Its prestige rises in tens of millions of minds if it does so, and collapses in tends of millions if it does not. And this is an area where the Supreme Court case law is almost nonexistent, so it must work from scratch.
Hardy thinks we'll know by June 23.

The notion of one man one vote that this Republic was built upon has been washed away. An unelected group of elitists now huddles and conspires to push and reshape society in its own vision. We have rule by judicial oligarchy. 10 million voters can pass an initiative only to have one judicial elitist wipe it all away with the stroke of a pen. Listen closely and you will hear the death bell of freedom ringing from DC to the 9th Circuit.

Very Jeffersonian of you, Rip.
