>> Conservatives never liked the prior USSC interpretations of the second amendment so when they gained control of the USSC, they changed the interpretation to fit their ideology. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

You don't know much about the history of slavery. The Constitution had nothing about slavery in it but Democrat legislators and Democratic activist judges on the SC were seeking to make slavery the law of the land throughout the US. That's what the long-term impact of the Fugitive Slave Act and the Dred Scott decision would have been.

60 Dead Veterans left to rot in LA County Morgue for 18 months while Obama Gets Photo Op in Afghanistan Richard Anthony 12 hours ago Video: losangeles.cbslocal.com Nothing our president does comes as a surprise anymore, but when he uses our troops, still stationed in Afghanistan, for nothing more than a photo-op to deflect from his abysmal neglect of veterans here at home, it's beyond shameful! I wonder, did he really think that we'd swallow that little bit of theater? Does he really think the American people are that stupid? Answer - Well of course he does! There is more shocking news regarding the VA scandal coming out every single day now. But boy, howdy....didn't he look great putting that wreath on the tomb of the Unknowns on Memorial Day? If I was one of those "low information voters," I would almost swear that he really does care about our nation's finest. Thank God I'm not that stupid! For the president to tell America he knew nothing about the problems within the VA is also insulting. More disturbing news has surfaced about the neglect by the VA. This time it comes from Los Angeles County, where the dead bodies of at least 60 veterans have been left in the LA county morgue for almost a year and a half without being processed and given a burial with honors that they deserve. This past Thursday, the LA County Coroner's Office was asked why the bodies had not yet received a proper burial after a source indicated there may have been as many as 60 veterans at the morgue for the past year and a half. The morgue says the bodies were unclaimed and they don't know how long the veterans were there. The law states veterans are supposed to receive a proper burial. The Veterans Administration says they were never notified the bodies were processed and ready to be buried. The LA County Morgue and the Veteran's Administration were blaming each other for the mistake. I would have given almost anything to have listened to that conversation. The Obama administration's neglect of my fellow veterans is beyond insulting. But what the heck folks, what's one more scandal to these people? How many more times will our president act "outraged" and promise to get to the bottom of things and not do a darn thing? The White House and the DOJ have done everything they can to impede any investigations ranging from Operation Fast And Furious up to and including this latest scandal involving the Veterans Administration. I'll tell you what I'm grateful for; I thank God that I have a family that cares about me. I'm also grateful that my wife and I have already paid for our cemetery plot. I shudder to think what would happen to my remains if I didn't have a family, or if I had to depend on the VA to provide me with a timely burial. Would my body be left to rot in a county morgue like those men? If this story doesn't make you mad as hell, then nothing will. I wonder, what those dead veterans in the L.A. county morgue would say to our president if they could speak?

Slavery wasn't exactly a conservative vs liberal issue, it was a north vs south issue. The north, conservatives, liberals, and others, generally opposed it. As for constitutional interpretations, rightly or wrongly before the civil war they fairly consistently supported the institution of slavery. Conservatives are loyal to the Constitution onlywhen it coincides with their ideology. To a certain extent that's true about all large political groups in the US, but its more true about the left then about conservatives.
