Not sure if it passes the new rules. If not, I'll post after the right has been taken away.

The right to stand our ground along w/ the 2nd amendment is the only thing that keeps the bad guy's guessing. Ask anyone in Chicago..... where they have neither.

One bad incident is not good for passing bad self defense law. If anyone remembers the mid-80's in south Florida they would agree that the SD laws in Florida have made it a better place. The 2nd amendment and SD laws are not the source of our societies ills, but it could help be the solution.

Chief, I have no doubt that stand your ground will stand it's ground as there is nothing unconstitutional about protecting yourself. In my case, I'm too, old to fight and too, crippled to run, but I can still do seven pound curls with my index finger. When the SHTF I'm going to do whatever I have to do to survive. I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six. And that's how it is, the law be damned.

Honestly, if they get just one more justice, pretty much all our 2nd Amendment rights will lose out. We already know 4 of the justices rule based on their personal opinions and not the Constitution. One even cites foreign law in her decisions and has publicly trashed our Constitution. Just watch, 4 of these justices will uphold nobama care, something anyone with half a brain knows is unconstitutional.

Is there any way bad judges who end up on the SCOTUS can be impeached?

[muggsy]

Short answer, yes.

Read in today's paper that a State Senator (D) has introduced a bill to ensure that no law that comes close to "Stand your ground" can ever be passed here in Louisianna. We do have the Castle Doctrine, but this individual's bill has been entitled, "Don't persue, call 911". Basically, run away and call 911 rather than fight for what is yours. Yet to be seen how this will work out if someone breaks into your house and you can hide in the bathroom rather than confront them.

What a wonderful world we live in.

Seems like a hollow argument by the Senator down there in FL. If Zimmerman was the aggressor, then as I understand it, "stand your ground" wouldn't cover his use of force. However, if it turns out that Martin was the aggressor, then Zimmerman may indeed have protected himself as the law intends.

Too many people have jumped on that case before all of the facts are known.

And for all of that, none of Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton types or have spoken out about this despicable crime: http://www.newson6.com/story/1717869...type=printable And no words of a "teachable moment" from the POTUS, either.

This may be out of line, but it sure seems the way he operates. I got it an email from my buddy.
