Stonehead Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Phenomenon such as the surging popularity of Fredrich A. Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom and the recent victory in McDonald v City of Chicago may forecast if we’re experiencing one of the last gasps or the dawning of a new day. In support of libertarianism, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurrence nevertheless broke from the majority rationale by invoking the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment to support his decision in upholding individual guns rights. No other justice attempted to disassemble Thomas’ well-reasoned argument. The potential momentous nature of his position would be the resurrection of the Privileges and Immunities Clause through the overturning of the Slaughter-House Cases simultaneously leading to an era of economic liberty and perhaps other liberties as the influence emanates outward. Time will only tell how long before this occurs but the outcome seems to be assured by the trend apparent in the historical pattern. Quote

prole Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 We've been enduring Clarence Thomas and the like's brand of freedumb for a while now. It didn't work. Or didn't you notice? Quote

rob Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 actually, I'm pretty sure that post was created by one of those online term-paper generators, using random phrases and keywords. Quote
sobo Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Your post reminds me of the prediction: "It's going to rain, unless it doesn't....we'll see." I've always liked this one: "50% chance of rain. It either will, or it won't." Quote
