Right now we are an embattled minority trying to hold the fort. If SCOTUS veers left we will be not only a minority but outside the law with our prime civil liberties likely stripped from us.
The romantics in our midst may see this as our heroic stand for liberty but if it comes down to that we are best off proposing secession or a semi-autonomous state.
We have to believe that McCain can be prevailed upon to not appoint liberal judges. If we don't believe even that then there is no point in taking part in the political process at all.
Well, romantic or not, I wonder:
We're fighting so hard to get a government (meaning, in this case, Supreme Court Justices) which will support our right to keep and bear arms - a right which is used to stand up to government if the need arises.
It just seems like a strange cycle after a while, because we really wouldn't need the 2nd Amendment if we always had a government that was our friend.
Believe it or not, the SCOTUS is NOT the final check and balance. There is a candidate in the fog who is trying to unite the country on a "romantic" message of "liberty" (which everyone, democrat, or republican, or whatever,
should, theoretically find appealing), but we're burning that message in order to elect a slightly favorable candidate with a small chance to appoint pro-2A Supreme Court justices, who will not take our guns (because taking our guns would thereby weaken our ability to stand up for our liberties).
Strange cycles, I tell ya.
