According to reports in Washington Times, the New York Times, and CQ Politics, the NRA sent the US Senate Judiciary Committee a letter containing the following statement: “Unfortunately, Ms. Kagan’s record on the Second Amendment gives us no confidence that if confirmed to the Court, she will faithfully defend the fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms of law-abiding Americans,”.
GOA counsel of record for Amicus briefs in both the McDonald vs Chicago and DC vs Heller cases, William J. Olson testified that Kagan is hostile to the Second Amendment, and also is a supporter of judicial supremacy. Judicial supremacy is the belief that your rights are whatever the courts have most recently ruled they are. This is in stark opposition to God Given Rights as believed in by the founding fathers where your rights are ordained by God and cannot be taken by anyone, and Natural Rights as believed in by many Libertarians and anarchists in which all human beings have certain rights naturally that cannot be taken away.
Kagan’s confirmation will not change the makeup of the court since she is replacing a statist, but it won’t help us any either. If we are unlucky enough to lose a so called “conservative” justice during Obama’s tenure as President and he gets a majority statist court we will likely see both McDonald vs Chicago and DC vs Heller overturned.
