On Aug. 12, we witnessed a rare exception.
That’s when a friend of the court brief, known as an “amicus” brief, was filed in the Supreme Court by five Democratic senators, including one presidential candidate. The senators were Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Richard Durbin of Illinois, and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
The brief provoked considerable controversy and even led to the filing of a legal complaint against Whitehouse, who was its principal author. |

“The National Rifle Association (NRA), promoted the confirmation (and perhaps selection) of nominees to this Court who, it believed, would ‘break the tie’ in Second Amendment cases. … This backdrop no doubt encourages petitioners’ brazen confidence that this Court will be a partner in their ‘project.’”
Citizen lobbying groups sought the appointment of Justices that would uphold their Rights, which upsets would-be dictators. So, these senators now openly disdain the citizens' RIGHT to petition the government for redress of grievance... in an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, no less. I am not surprised, as they certainly don't respect, much less uphold the Constitution, or their oath to support and defend it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
