Sotomayor waffles on your right to self-defense

On 07-15-09, during her Senate confirmation hearings, Judge Sonia Sotomayor danced around questions by Senator Tom Coburn regarding her opinion about an American Citizen’s right to defend himself or herself against violence. (See Jonathan Adler’s analysis here. Keep in mind that The Washington Post is a Liberal newspaper. Adler is outnumbered two to one by Liberal legal authorities in the Post article.)
This equivocation by Judge Sotomayor is not surprising, given that she was nominated to the Supreme Court by Barack Obama, who has made numerous appointments of persons hostile to the Second Amendment, e.g., Biden, Emmanuel, Clinton, Sebilius, and Napolitano, to name a few. (If you are a gun owner who voted for Obama, curse yourself and send a large contribution to a pro-gun organization. Think of your donation as compensatory damages for a really dumb vote.)
If you have not already done so, please call your US Senators and ask them to oppose Judge Sotomayor’s nomination to the highest court in the land. She will almost undoubtedly be confirmed over our objections, but we can at least let the Senate know that Americans are watching their actions and will hold them accountable during the next election and beyond. (See my post, “Obama picks anti-gun Supreme Court nominee,” 05-28-09, tagged, “Sotomayor.”)
