CNN - Sotomayor on 2nd amendment

[unclefixer]

@patriotadEEUU I stand corrected, no they aren't stupid, just evil and what they don't know, is their plans are going to go awry. They will attempt their little "power mad scheme" but it won't last long, hungry and desperate people are next to impossible to intimidate. We will get our guns and remove them. Oh it will be a bloody mess, but they will be gone in the end.

[addvoc8]

Precedent is 100% anti-constitution. Precedent allows the constitution to be aboded by only until one single court case defies the constitution and then that unconstitutional case is used as precedent to open the Pandora's box to "justify" further erosion of the constitution. Toxic President law is purely Marxist and has no place in the USA or any free country. She defined herself as anti-constitution and pro-Marxist while senator Hatch & buds accept it like the idiots they are.

[unclefixer]

It obvious that Sotomayor is liberal and is ignorant of the 2nd amendment and as such needs to be removed. In a court of standing, ie a supreme court they must rule based on what the constitution actually says. The 2nd amendment is very clear, the right to own and bare arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. These people need to obey this or be fired.

[patriotadEEUU]

@unclefixer

Not ignorant. They know exactly what they are doing.

[thrifftyjonurban]

some one please put a bullet in this cunt's head

[airpros1]

This is typical of what happens when legal interpretation is based on recent CASE LAW , (suggested as most relevant BY MODERN COURTS) , rather than the originally prescribed concept of ORIGINAL INTENT BASED ON FACTORS RELEVANT AT THE ORIGINAL TIME OF CREATION OF THE LAW IN QUESTION OR BEING PRESENTLY INTERPRETED . ONLY ORIGINAL INTENT AT TIME OF CREATION CAN BE RIGHTFULLY INTERPRETED CORRECTLY and DEEMED RELEVANT TO THE INTERPRETATION OF LAW !

[InfidelOpsSniper]

Unconstitutional fucks

[RushmoreGerleve]

OUR rights are NOT open to question. Our rights have already been trampled to the point of no return. NDAA. When no one stands up ALL will fall.

[SilverSpoon09]

such a tool...... wow.....

[iluv2viddyfilms]

Sings to the tune "America" in West Side Story: "I want no guns in America!" "THERE ARE NO GUNS IN AMERICA" "PLEASE TAKE ALL GUNS OUT OF AMERICA, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY FOR A PUERTO RICAN JUDGE TO DECIDE IN AMERICA"  ps... sub my channel.

[bIGbUTtHole420]

How do you appoint judges that don't follow the constitution...

Do you appoint company CEOs that don't believe in economics?

[Maples01]

@bIGbUTtHole420 Are you nutz, they appoint people to be a Supreme Court Judge that has never been a judge.

[bIGbUTtHole420]

@Maples01

So basically you are swore into Supreme court positions with no regard to constitutional law anymore? Even someone who had admitted she made it into Yale by affirmative action because she did not have the grades and scores to be accepted academically? Huh, ill be.

[gcastro44]

Same goes to Kagen.

[gcastro44]

I'm latino and i think her appointment in being a supreme court justice is deplorable. She is not right for the job. We should do away with affirmative action and give the job to the right person who will uphold our constitution.

[Flexx312]

This woman's appointment is despicable...if she would tell the truth of her opinion and politics, she would repeal the II Amendment with out hesitation...

[pangolin9]

Here eyes are flickering you can read her like a book-----lying pro la raza puta----

[1989tonyg]

@pangolin9 la raza is for mexicans she is puerto rican

[pangolin9]

@1989tonyg You dont have to be mexican to be for la raza and what its trying to do. It is a movement to destroy and divide the USA. Many hispanics are losing their idenity and are being grouped with/as mexicans---- right or wrong. Especially in border states with mexico.

[tayronachan]

She is talking out her a** and doing everything she can to not answer directly. Does anybody have enough education to understand "shall not be infringed". She must think everyone is stupid!

[boanerges144]

What a load of Horses*&% Its a right plain and simple against corrupt government, 2nd amendment is not about hunting, sport shooting or anything else its about the people keeping the government in check. I think that pretty soon we will have to exercise it.

[MudaSHoleProductions]

I love how she uses her 'legal terminology' to sound smart and justify why the 2nd amendment is no longer 'relevant'. I'm wondering if she even gave a valid answer to the senator who asked the question. I mean, there's another video where she complains the senator is using 'wording' that she doesn't understand, even though I'm sure 99% of the people can understand what he asked. Then here she is spewing terminology and other bullshit in response to our simple questions.

[661yodaddy]

wtf is that bitch talking about?

[totalSPAZ182]

WTF! Geesh, what a babbling imbecile. She didn't even know what she was saying. She was so damn evasive she wouldn't even directly evade a question.

Someone needs to smack the stupid right outta the hag...

[samten10a]

4 of the Supreme Court justices have committed treason in my opinion. They should be impeached and removed from the court.

I can understand the 4 SCJ saying the cities county and states have a right to keep felons from having a gun because they lost certain right when convicted and mentally dangerous person if a court judge that person to so.

[samten10a]

But laws like DC and Chicago are so far past that, the laws are not even laughable.

Most people have to wonder what kind of a dictionary that has definition that so corrupted the meaning of the words; bare, keep, shall, not, infringe, upon. That allowed the 4 SCJ was using it to be able to make an imbecile judgment.

[rkba2012]

Commie CUNT!

[dumfart21]

Sotomayor sounds like Sotomy

[berettaman092]

Dumb bitch

[hangfire0352]

Obama has to be a tard to think she would make a good judge anywhere.

[MrSupasexi]

the purpose of the second amendment is to protect against tyrannical govt's. hmmmm so why are they trying to greatly decrease our rights to own guns?

[drnogood59]

There's a reason its the SECOND AMMENDMENT! After thinking freedom of speech and religion the Founding Fathers wanted us to beable to protect our rights. Since they didn't know what the weapons of 2000 or even 1900 would be they kept it simple and easy to understand. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. We are the people. Not the military, not the police, and certainly not just the rich.

[danxse]

Need more lemon pledge.

[TheMasterd380]

take my gun over my dead body

[ten8goa]

THAT BITCH NEEDS TO GO. ITS AMAZING HOW SHE SIDESTEPS THE ISSUE AND JUST PUTS OUT A BUNCH OF BABBLE.

[TJ347]

They will eventually ban guns in the US, just like they did in Britain and Australia. I just think they'll do it by banning FURTHER sales of firearms and ammo, and prohibiting weapons transfers. They damn sure won't try to come get people's guns or launch a collection program. That shit would never work.

[AdamIowa89]

She likes to flutter her eyelids a lot. 

[outlawracer2229]

The framework hasn't changed. We still have our rights. At least we use to......

[SpaceRanger1138]

You can't just make shit up to change rules! If I'm playing Monopoly, and some bitch tells me that because the rules were written in 1933.... I am no longer able to get $200 for passing GO.... then we're gonna have a fuckin' problem.

[lobo9er]

did what she said even make sense? Its anti gun or pro gun. she is anti gun she does not want the people to own firearms.

[lobo9er]

* Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology,[17] U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year.

[vsnips]

There is no debate, we can have guns, she is a huge fail.

[RamoneTalarico]

Wow, that's a lot of talking.....what was accomplished with it...

[MarcoMan2o10MM]

sotomayors a fucking bitch i hope some one buts a gun to her head and makes her beg for her life and then we'll see what she has to say about the right to have a gun!!

[VinnyS914]

The Second Amendment will be obsolete the day World Peace is declared NOT before.

[keverc]

@VinnyS914 world peace is a joke a dream a fairy tale. all through human history there has been conflict and that will not change because conflict is part of what we are.

[BroBroDude]

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR EYES

It's funny, I never notice anyone speaking so carefully and deliberately when they're being honest and forthright. Her answers are like crafty military maneuvers designed to conceal a position rather than advance it.

[anryth]

thats a lot of talking for not really giving an answer. these activist judges are trying to "interpret" the constitution when it was written in plain English. they are creating these gross perversions of the constitution in order to justify their liberal agenda, which was not intended by the founders.

[SPAD58]

Yesterday 64 million registered gun owners didn't kill anyone. How can anyone not understand this..."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".

[SPAD58]

Yesterday 64 million registered gun owners didn't kill anyone.

[rubbercheck72]

It should be no surprise that Sotomayor, a member of La Raza, voted against the individual right to own a gun in McDonald vs. Chicago. This communist traitor and her like need to be purged from the USA for good.

[kyledm5]

"What is the militia? It is the whole body of the people except for a few public officials. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them..."

George Mason

[zep0c0llie]

@hughster41 Im pretty sure shes a CONSERVATIVE shes trying to go back old school before guns when real conservatives talked it or over or just fought all these LIBERALS with there guns suck now thinking itll solve there problems

[Primeda]

Legalese Bullshit

[tock101]

Remember on fact about law. If a judge makes a decision like the people don't have the right to bear arms, then that rulling is also equal to all the amendments. That means, "the people don't have the right to free speech. The people don't have the right to assembly, the people don't have the right to religon, etc. If you rule that one Constitution right is not the people right, then you have rulled that all rights of the the people are not Constitutional.

[NoMAIG]

Yes or NO you anti gun BITCH!!!!!!!! Big old monkey lips and Buster Douglas nose she has. Blah!!! I wanna say Oblah blah aka nobama HUSSEIN.

[tock101]

It is printed, THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE have the right to FREE SPEACH, THE PEOPLE have the right to assembly. THE PEOPLE have the right to relilgous belief. THE PEOPLE have the righ to bear arms. Everyone and the courts keep forgetting the words and it meaning. THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[MatthewRider1]

@tock101 So true. It is amazing that judges (who all graduate from law school) don't seem to understand English (one of the most powerful tools of all lawyers). Although, unlike most gun-control idiots, she did write her academic dissertation on the 2nd amendment, which she gave some solid arguments. Still, the founding fathers couldn't have been clearer. Anything else is BS.

[rocbola]

She is so stupid. A long drawn out answer full of spin is not the type of answer that one of our highest justices should be giving. That was the type of answer a politician would have given! Shame on her, and shame on Obama for appointing her. What was he thinking?

[MrLAYER2009]

when this lady answered the question it sounded like the teacher from charlie brown

[andrewziegler206]

How to detect utter bullshit: When a simple question has to be answered with a speech.

[bZberetta]

such a stupid bitch

[scalesofjustice0]

I listened to this lady,and she tries to explain things, for lack of a better word, "cleverly". They try to keep the guns out of felons hands; but the ones that are really committing crimes with guns are the ones who can't register them for the most part. Let a felon obtain a permit after 7 years of restriction, and you will see how the one felon will respect the law to own a gun once again. People who had never been convicted of a felony are the ones who are shooting mad.The state wants ur gun.

[dfc278]

Look at gun problems, they are regional. Is there a gun problem in the state of Wyoming? Anywhere in the state? Look at the city of Chicago, LA, NY or Philadelphia? Problems? Problems are w/the criminals not the guns. Why should the people in the state of Wyoming, Iowa, Pennsylvania etc.....Give up there guns b/c the criminals in the metro cities can not be controlled????????

[pillemannen]

Fucking ugly halfnigger fucking bitch!

Hang that nigger!

[mymustang1986]

hey look i can put some words together to make a sentence but i never will tell you what my stance is ha ha. sad this is what the country has to live with

[Jason28xs]

is having a gun so important? Then why is it the 2nd amendment. Any thing higher than High explosive should be the cut off.

[GunsWillStopYou]

Just know this, The anti-american blacks and the millions and millions of illegal alien mexicans would love it if our own United States Government took all of our guns away. Do you think for a second that the black panthers and La - Raza will give up their GUNS. lol

[dfc278]

She is too scared to answer the question directly! She just dances around! She's a communist!

[scalesofjustice0]

I'm Puerto Rican, and I believe that this lady thinks she's correct; but i bega to differ... We need our guns... We just need to keep them in safe places so that they are not stolen as often... Any type of handgun in a home is like owing a tool... A tool to remove the thing that is affecting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happyness... Begining with sleeping good at night knowing I have protection. God bless American...

[dfc278]

Glad to hear that man! Props to you Scales

[usaknifenut]

@dfc278 shes even wearing red lol

[sjr341]

Fight back! Join the NRA!

[DiggingYourGrave]

This is just her personal opinion, don't get bent over it since the Supreme Court is not supposed to make any laws ever. She does seem rational and a thinker.

[thenomadboots1]

What an anti-American scumbag! Just like all of the Obama appointees and nominees.

It almost seems like Obama is doing EVERYTHING in his power to destroy this country and incite a revolution.

Either that or he's a puppet for the NWO.

...or he's a complete moron.

[andpinger]

no hes just liberal

[Juan777fl]

fuck that bitch she not goint to get robb I Do

[chyatt4]

Bitch can try to take my guns, from my cold dead hands!

[ultrakool]

that sounds all well and good there, charlton, however if these elite gun grabbers have there way, they'll just tax and legislate it out of your warm, live hands

[wearefreedom]

fuk that bitch!!!!

[Magi131]

Her double speak Darkside of the Force Sith mind control powers do not work on me! I am a Jedi like my Father before me! You have FAILED emperor. I will never turn to the Dark Side of the Force!

[Ps2Viper87]

The fact is the people of America have every right to own a gun! And according to the constitution the government has no right to take that away from us! The 2nd Amendment was put into place in order for citizens of America to protect themselves against tyranny in government!

[VinnyS914]

@Ps2Viper87 Liberals don't pay attention to insignificant things like the Constitution

[Ps2Viper87]

@VinnyS914 Actually the Constitution is the MOST SIGNIFICANT document our country was not only built upon but is still held accountable to! Liberals need to learn to abide by the Constitution or get the hell out of America!!

[Yetibutt]

Originally the Bill of Rights, all ten amendments, applied only to the newly created Federal Government. It was not until after the Civil War, and the enactment of the 14th Amendment, that any of the Bill of Rights applied to the State Governments under the "priviledges and immunities" clause. The words of the 2nd Amendment do not answer the question presented by a State restriction on guns (or nunchaku) because the original intent was to curb federal power. It is a 14th Amendment question.

[guinnessman1970]

hog wash!!! The fundmental rights of all amendments. If it not so, then any state can take away the rights of free speech, religon, voting, ban on slavery and the others. There are differnence between laws and rights. Rights are personal freedom and laws try to curb people's rights.

[Yetibutt]

Read a history book. Its not open to debate. Prior to the Civil War, the Bill of Rights did not apply to the states. Now it does because of the 14th Amendment.

[rdbiii]

The Constitution applied to all the states, which was why it was so important that all the states ratified it. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights applies to the states.

[sarasmith125]

@Yetibutt That's not correct. Read Article VI, Section II of the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. therefore, the Constitution is superior to all other laws and all other laws must be made in accordance to it.

[Yetibutt]

@sarasmith125 True but irrelevant. The Supremacy Clause means that any federal law can trump any state law if that is what the Congress intends. This does not change the fact that the Bill of Rights as enacted by the founding fathers was intended to protect the States rights from abuses by the newly formed Federal Government. No provision of the Bill of Rights was ever enforced againt the States until after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment. Easily verifiable historical fact

[sarasmith125]

@Yetibutt The fact that it was never enforced is irrelevant. If one law is supreme- the Constitution- then it's superior to all other laws in the entire nation, that includes states as well as the federal government

[Yetibutt]

@sarasmith125 It is not that it was never enforced. There are over 200 years of case decisions by the United States Supreme Court on the topic. You have obviously not read any of them. Do some research on the Incorporation Doctrine. Its fairly settled now, particularly with the most recent 2nd Amendment decision on the topic (which I support, BTW). It was not clearly settled as to the 2nd Amendment at the time these comments were made.

[sarasmith125]

@Yetibutt Even though the Court makes a decision about it, that doesn't mean they're right. The Court said that the 2A is not an absolute right; they're wrong. They said the same thing about the 1A. They're wrong. If a law is superior to all others, then no other laws can be made that contradict that law. It's not that hard to grasp the concept.

[Yetibutt]

@sarasmith125 So felons can own guns and anyone can shout fire in a crowded movie theater. The Supreme Court does not say what the law is, Sara Smith does. Have fun with that in court.

[sarasmith125]

@Yetibutt Constitutionally, the answer to both questions would be yes. The Supreme Court's interpretation of what is clearly written in plain English wrong. It's binding and we must abide by it, but it is still wrong and is not a correct interpretation of the Constitution.

[klaptongroovemaster]

Self-defense, against criminal aggressors OR tyrannical governments is an UNALIENABLE HUMAN RIGHT, just like freedom of speech or religion. 2A does not GRANT this right, it is supposed to PROTECT it. The right itself, just like free speech or religion, would exist whether the government recognizes it or not. If they do not, that right is INFRINGED, it does not cease to exist.

"Shall not be infringed" means EXACTLY what it says.

[nemo227]

@klaptongroovemaster Well put; in·al·ien·a·ble, adj.

not able to be transferred or taken away, for example, because of being protected by law (formal)

Sometimes, judges don't live in the same world as the "average" citizen. They can be so out of touch and impractical that their judgements are detrimental to citizens.

[mallardgreen]

2nd Amendment to the Constitution: "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." Every time the constitution uses the term "the people" (as opposed to the states or the federal government) it speaks of an individual right. There can be no doubt as the meaning of the 2nd Amendment; it does guarantee (rather, recognize) the right of the individual to keep and bear arms.
