SCOTUS Nominee Sotomayor Quote:

Have you read this quote:

The Second Amendment applies only to limitations the federal government seeks to impose on this right."

-- Opinion of the court, including Judge Sotomayor, Maloney v. Cuomo (2009)

What does that sentence mean to you?

And moreover, what does the Second Amendment mean to you:

Right To Keep And Bear Arms - A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

In my opinion, the Second Amendment is extremely clear.

However, as CNSNews points out:

(CNSNews.com) – Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor ruled in January 2009 that states do not have to obey the Second Amendment’s commandment that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

In Maloney v. Cuomo, Sotomayor signed an opinion of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that said the Second Amendment does not protect individuals from having their right to keep and bear arms restricted by state governments.

America, the revolutionary writing is becoming more visible on the wall. You think your freedoms are immured forever in stone?

Perhaps you'd best think again.
