Supreme Court gets it RIGHT.

Fellow Patriots,

In the most important Supreme Court decision of the
decade, District of Columbia v. Heller, a majority
of justices ruled today that the Second Amendment
(http://PatriotPost.US/histdocs/constitution/bill_of_rights.asp) is
indeed constitutional. Not only that, but they reaffirmed that the
right to keep and bear arms is an individual right, and that the
District of Columbia's ban on handguns is unconstitutional. The
Court was split 5-4, with Justice Antonin Scalia writing the
majority opinion.

"Logic demands that there be a link between the stated purpose
and the command," Justice Scalia wrote. "We start therefore with
a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised
individually and belongs to all Americans." Justice Scalia was
joined on the majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts,
Justice Anthony Kennedy, Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice
Samuel Alito.

We at The Patriot Post applaud the Court's majority in deciding
that the Second Amendment means what it actually says, but we need
to continue to urge our legislators to do the same. To that end,
we invite you to sign The Patriot's petition affirming the Second
Amendment's individual "right of the People to keep and bear arms."

If you have not already done so, I urge you to sign this petition
today -- right now, please. We need more than 100,000 signatures
in order for this petition to be given the attention it deserves
from national leaders.

Please forward this invitation to Patriot family members, friends
and associates.

Thank you!

Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus et Fidelis!

I'm not as happy about this Supreme Court decision as everyone else. Do you realize we almost lost our RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS by just ONE VOTE?????!!!!! Nobody is looking at it that way!

Thank God for George Bush's appointment of Constitutional judges on the High Court....or we would really be SUNK!
