For the Federal Bench

A federal judge who struck down Virginia’s ban on gay marriage inaccurately attributed a quote from Declaration of Independence to the Constitution.

“Our Constitution declares that ‘all men’ are created equal. Surely this means all of us,” Arenda Wright Allen wrote in her original opinion, issued late Thursday.

Though the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees “equal protection” under the law, the Constitution does not include the phrase “all men are created equal.” That would be the Declaration of Independence.

The left is outrage mode because the President made a deal with someone from Georgia to get some less than far left judge nominated for one of the Circuits down there. I expect him to replace that nominee with this nitwit sometim this week.

Is, apparently, a bad thing these days.

DC News FOX 5 DC WTTG

If, to hear the leftists tell it, FOX News execs are so all controlling on the topic of “message”, then how did this report slip through?

AC/DC on current events

This edpisode: The 9th Circuit decision on May Issue CCW in California

From Bon: Shot Down in Flames

And from Brian: Shoot to Thrill

And if you haven’t watched the River Plate show in it’s entirety yet, you risk the chance of going to your grave unfulfilled.

On a side note, Guitar Center spent $1 million for Eric Clapton’s “Blackie” so that Fender could make clones. And both Gibson and Fender have bought other Clapton guits so they can take them apart to get measurements and x-rays so they can make replicas.

Why has no one done this for Angus and Malcom’s guitars? Angus, I can understand. he’ll tell you what his formula is (late 60’s Gibson SG w/humbuckers into a Marshal Plexi with the knobs turned to high noon). But why the disrespect to Malcom? That damn 1963 Gretsch Jet Firebird has played on every single AC/DC album since 1973. If he put a Stratocaster into the mix, it wouldn’t be AC/DC. Fender owns Gretsch. You’d think they could get their shit together.

RNS Quote of the Day: 02/14/14

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Phil Kadath

If you had any doubts about the tyranny, let them be removed.

Company officials will be trapped in a catch-22. They can lay off as many people as they want because of Obamacare. But because they’ll have to swear to the IRS that their decisions had nothing to do with Obamacare, they can’t speak publicly about what’s happening. What a great way to silence the people who are on the front lines of dealing with Obamacare’s horrific effects.

Bryan Preston – Companies Must Now Swear to the IRS That None of Their Layoffs Are Because of Obamacare

And pity those who already have spoken out.

And yet

He can still getting away with saying he is for “helping them middle class.”

EPA ‘clean coal’ rule would increase power prices by 70 or 80 percent

An Obama administration official has said that the new clean coal rules could increase electricity prices by as much as 80 percent.

Dr. Julio Friedmann, the deputy assistant secretary for clean coal at the Department of Energy, told House lawmakers that the first generation of carbon capture and storage technology would increase wholesale electricity prices by “70 or 80 percent.”

…..

“The precise number will vary, but for first generation we project $70-90 per ton (on the wholesale price of electricity),” Friedmann said. “For second generation, it will be more like a $40-50/ton price. Second generation of demonstrations will begin in a few years, but won’t be until middle of the next decade (2022-2025) that we will have lessons learned and cost savings.”

It must be nice having a lapdog media.

And don’t worry, Dr. Friedman. By 2025, inflation will have risen to the point that these cost increases will make these nearly doubled rates seem reasonable.

It’s a Beautiful Day in Cali

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Alaska


Bright and sunny, blue skies, puffy clouds, pink blossoms, and the right to bear arms being shoved down the throats of recalcitrant sheriffs. Today was a good day.

California Goes Shall Issue

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Alaska

Not immediately, but that sure looks like where we’re heading after the 9th Circuit’s decision in Peruta today.

Because the Second Amendment has always been an individual right to defend oneself, cases that—like these—uphold gun regulations because they do not offend the militia-based nature of the right are inapposite and should not factor into a historical analysis of the right’s scope. See, e.g., Heller, 554 U.S. at 605. And with these cases off the table, the remaining cases speak with one voice: states may not destroy the right to bear arms in public under the guise of regulating it.

And the money quote:

…San Diego County’s “good cause” permitting requirement impermissibly infringes on the Second Amendment right to bear arms in lawful self-defense.

I’m still reading through the decision, but basically, the lower court’s granting of San Diego’s motion for summary judgment was reversed because, among other things, self-defense must be considered “good cause” to issue the license to carry. All the caveats apply: it’s a 3-judge panel, not the full 9th; San Diego can still appeal.

Nonetheless, this bodes VERY well for the Calguns Foundation’s/Alan Gura’s Richards case, which was argued before the same panel on the same day, and may get us more of a slam-dunk ruling. We’ll see.

The AmmoMan Can

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Phil Kadath

Who can help your range day, get more bang for your buck?

Fewer pennies per cartridge. Not feel so out of luck?

The AmmoMan can help you turn money into noise and make your wallet feel good!

You may remember that sale The AmmoMan had last week? Then you can probably guess what was waiting for me on the porch yesterday.

150 rounds of .308 Winchester goodness.

I may just have to have a range session where I invite y’all locals out to help me go through this. I’ve been “reimaging” The Hun Bastard and I think you all might enjoy the changes. I could probably be persuaded to bring the Israeli Mauser along too.

If you’d be interested, give me an idea of when. The where would be here.
