Worth a gander

Worth a gander. Now if we can just get them to rule that exercising civil forfeiture without a conviction is unconstitutional.

Chief Justice John Roberts has taken some lumps for certain decisions he has issued during his tenure on the Supreme Court, but he has again led the way in protecting the rights of property owners from a government often all too eager to take them away.

Letter from Albert Perez

follow up

I was hoping to get text of Newsome's proposed 28th Amendment. No joy, but I did find the quote this posting is based on.

Gavin Newsome has proposed an amendment to the Constitution outlawing assault weapons by civilians, requiring background checks for all transfers of firearms (including private transaction), waiting periods, raising the age to buy firearms to 21, and also wants to get rid of preemption laws (lower levels of government cannot pass stricter gun laws than higher levels), Newsome refers to imposing these restrictions as "The 28th will enshrine 4 widely supported gun safety freedoms." Apparently in Newsome's mind stripping rights from the majority is enshrining freedom for many others. To quote Iago Montoya, "You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means."

getting it right

It is important to make sure that documents and laws are translated properly. Spanish has two words phrases for the People; "la Gente" and "el Pueblo." La Gente means individuals acting in their own interest, sometimes acting collectively, el Pueblo means the community acing as a single entity. It is important to make sure that the phrase "right of the people" is translated as "el derecho de la gente," guaranteeing an individual right, and not "el derecho del pueblo." guaranteeing a communal right. for example, it seems the Spanish translation of the US Constitution in the Library of Congress translates the Second Amendment as guaranteeing a right "del Pueblo," a condition that needs to be corrected.

Prior to the Heller decision, a lot of people thought it was a right "del pueblo". — Editor.
