I was appalled, but not particularly surprised to read the following in an article about the recent Supreme Court decision striking down the D.C. handgun ban:

In a dissent he summarized from the bench, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority [who said the ban was unconstitutional] "would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons." 

Stevens is right--the majority is out of control.  What next?  Will they be claiming that the Framers chose to limit the government's tools to ban religion?  Speech?  Based on some supposed document that was created over 200 years ago?  Ridiculous!  Where will this madness end?  Why is it okay for them to force their belief in this so-called "Bill of Rights" on us?

I, for one, will be voting for Obama in the fall.  All we need is one more justice on Stevens's side--one more--and we'll be freed from the confines of these supposed limitations on government imposed on us because of a few people's belief in some static, old document.  Those dead "Framers" have no right to impede our progress by telling our elected officials (and judges!) what they can't do.
