STUPID QUOTES ON
EMERSON CASE!

Here are a few of our favorite stupid Emerson quotes. Feel free to submit your own stupid quotes to info@ccrkba.org or info@saf.org

3. "It is undisputed that the Second Amendment was -- like the other portions of the Bill of Rights -- intended simply to restrain the power of the federal government against the states."

Center to Prevent Handgun Violence Emerson Amicus Brief.

Really??? Guess none of the Bill of Rights are individual rights, and they only protect the states!!!! But at least the anti-rights group is consistent on this point! :-)

2. ". . . the "obvious purpose" of the Second Amendment was to effectuate Congress's power to "call forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union," . . . these courts have uniformly held that it [Second Amendment] precludes only federal attempts to disarm, abolish, or disable the ability to call up the organized state militia . . . that it was the right of the States to maintain a militia that was being preserved . . ."

Seth P. Waxman, U. S. Department of Justice, Office of the Solicitor General Letter dated August 22, 2000.

Sounds like many different interpretations in one letter! Well, which is it -- a Federal Right or a States' Right???

Apparently, the Second Amendment is everything but an Individual Right according to the Clinton/Gore/Reno Justice Department! ! !

1. "The appeals court panel is not expected to rule immediately. It could take up to 12 weeks for the court to issue its decision, court observers said." [emphasis added]

Article by Toni Heinzl, Star-Telegram Staff Writer, Appeals court to hear gun rights case from Texas Ruling could earn landmark status

GLAD WE ONLY HAD TO WAIT 12 WEEKS FROM JUNE 13, 2000! WHAT A RELIEF.

The decision was finally released on October 16, 2001. So much for that prediction!

Hope this page brought a brief smile to your face.
