Chicago’s 2nd Amendment challenge before the Supreme Court

MCDONALD V. CHICAGO This is a story that has failed to catch the attention of a lot of Americans. That is understandable, given the debate over health care reform and the other political news of the day, but it is important, nonetheless. In 2008, the ban on handguns in Washington, D.C. came before the...

Barack Obama’s attack on the First Amendment

Monday, October 6, 2008
By LD Jackson

The mantra of Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign is “Change we can believe in”. He also throws hope in for good measure and he has no end of flowing speeches, telling the American people he is the “change we can believe in”. With all due respect, I beg to differ. The kind of change he...
