Supreme Court 5-4 Decisions Screws U.S. All!

Thanks for viewing and post comments at the bottom.

Supreme Court Justice David Souter is retiring and President Obama wants Sonia Sotomayor to replace him.

Last year a big decision was handed down to gun owners and the District of Columbia (hub of government).

In regards to the Supreme Court of The United States:

Too damn partisan for me. Our high court has nine justices

Chief Justice John Roberts (Conservative)- appointed by George W. Bush in 2005.

Associate Samuel Alito (Conservative)- Appointed by George W. Bush in 2006.

Associate John Paul Stevens (Liberal)- Appointed by Gerald Ford in 1975.

Associate Steven Breyer (Liberal)- Appointed by Bill Clinton in 1994.

Associate Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Liberal)- Appointed by Bill Clinton in 1993.

Associate Clarence Thomas (Conservative)- Appointed by George H.W. Bush in 1991.

Associate David Souter (Liberal)- Appointed by George H.W. Bush in 1990.

Associate Antonin Scalia (Conservative)- Appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1986.

Associate Anthony Kennedy (Moderate) - Appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1988.

Major rulings were handed down as of recently so prepare for Part II in the next video.

GUN RIGHTS - Struck down District of Columbia gun ban! I support gun rights! Our guns, our life and our liberty! No one should regulate our rights to own guns. Protection is our freedom and we should have the right to bear arms. Second Amendment is our freedom! District of Columbia v. Heller

DEATH PENALTY - Struck down selective death penalty laws! I do support capital punishment (only in regards to treason, espionage and murder). The cases were Indiana v. Edwards and Kennedy v. Louisiana. The Eight Amendment is a protection from cruel and unusual punishment. The ruling was a split thought!

TORTURE - Struck down White House request to hold military trials for accused terrorist. There are no rights for any terrorist. But in regards to how the system works, any American who is at GITMO should be held in the United States Federal Courts Boumediene v. Bush

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, PRESS AND SPEECH - Upheld the law to a federal statute prohibiting the "pandering" of child pornography (offering or requesting to transfer, sell, deliver, or trade the items) did not violate the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, even if a person charged under the code did not in fact possess child pornography which to trade. The cases include United States v. Williams and Davis v. Federal Election Commission. Don't push child porn in the direction of me!

Wonder why our country is divided. This is your SCOTUS.
