That is what our Founders recognized. Our colleagues, before they vote on Solicitor General Kagan, need to understand that. That is why this colloquy is so important today. We have brought out some very important points. It was an honor to be with my colleagues to discuss Solicitor General Kagan's views on the second amendment and how that potentially could impact her decisions in the future." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
