What has Woodward done except to expose the truth that the Sequester was Obama's idea from the very first, signed into law by him, and Obama even publicly threatened to veto any attempt to change the Sequester? The truth is the truth and Woodward's facts are the truth. That it doesn't fit the extreme left wing propaganda show that our corrupt Chicago Way President and his thug regime want to portray is inconvenient for Obama so what does his corrupt thug Chicago Way regime do? Why of course they call Woodward up and threaten him. "you'll regret this" is a pretty clear threat. So what does Obama and his thug White House operation do at this point? Well of course they call upon their extreme left wing Poodle media thug allies to attack Woodward and try and discredit him. Can you imagine what Mr Chait would be writing if the Bush White House had called a famous, honest, liberal journalist, maybe Woodward himself, ranted at him and told him he would regret telling the truth. I dare say Mr Chait would not be attacking Mr Woodward he would be in full scale assault against the White House. Most of the Mainstream media has been nothing but Obama's Poodle media since he first ran against Hillary. However, its interesting when the truth and the 1st Amendment are so clearly at stake against a corrupt, lying, thug, Chicago Way White House who stands up for truth and the first amendment, and who joins Obama's thug attack on Mr Woodward. Mr Chait has show himself to be part of the thug operation coming from the White House, and he's betrayed truth and the first Amendment! Shame on you Mr Chait! Shame! - See more at: nymag.com nymag.com valwayne

Nonsense....never happen. The express words of the document prevent such a ruling.

>>Look for it to be overturned in the future with a less conservative court.... The idea is as simply stated as any idea could be. The premise has a long and valid history. Of course we do go through some transient crazed cultural periods where it seems the whole world is going to change. I believed that in the 60's and established a life style which predicted social revolution. Great, now the powerful people in the world do yoga and meditate and wear tie die instead of grey suits. The world hasn't changed Shepard, we just have different cloths in the closet and call that change. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution Guarantees an Individual Right To Keep and Bear Arms. It is an "absolute right being protected by the individual's right to have and use arms for self-preservation and defense. As Blackstone observed, individual citizens were therefore entitled to exercise their 'natural right of resistance and self-preservation, when the sanctions of society and laws are found insufficient to restrain the violence of oppression.'" (Sir William Blackstone) Definition of bear: to hold, be equipped, to carry, possess, or be furnished with (something) Definition of keep: to retain in one's possession or power This is not hard to understand and getting all entangled in tactical partisan maneuvering will only backfire on the political parties. The person on the street knows small town and rural areas are kept safe because of the self reliant protective citizenry. Where as, the urban areas and borders are high violence because of unstable cultural influence. Focus the billions being spent on a fruitless partisan smack down on the high crime corridors and you will see a change for the good. Keep trying to take guns away from law abiding conservatives and you will see more societal melt down. Work on cultural change where the problem lies and you will see less violence. Anomaly should not drive societal change but we have let it over the past 60 years. Cultural mores that are not beneficial should drive societal change. We have Farrakhan declaring gangsters to be the best model for protection and safety ... for crying out loud. Will I ever see a time when common sense and wisdom will take the reigns of change? There is nothing wrong with the 2nd amendment, there is a great deal that could be changed about culture but PC says don't judge the miscreants and we have to do something, so take guns away from decent people and do nothing about out of control gang lands. tsk
