Your action is needed more than ever! Judge Merrick Garland voted to rehear the Parker v. District of Columbia case when the Washington D.C. government asked for a rehearing. This decision led to the Heller decision that reaffirmed the Second Amendment as an individual right.
Judge Merrick Garland Will Vote to Gut the Second Amendment
Make no mistake about it, no matter what you may have heard Judge Garland is NOT a moderate as President Obama’s announcement and other news agencies are reporting.
Carrie Severino Chief Counsel of the Judicial Crisis Network wrote in a National Review post:
Back in 2007, Judge Garland voted to undo a D.C. Circuit court decision striking down one of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation… He voted with Judge David Tatel, one of the most liberal judges on that court… Had Garland and Tatel won that vote, there’s a good chance that the Supreme Court wouldn’t have had a chance to protect the individual right to bear arms for several more years.
But Garland has a long record, and, among other things, it leads to the conclusion that he would vote to reverse one of Justice Scalia’s most important opinions, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms.
So here is what all gun owners need to do:
Call every Republican and Independent in the senate and ask them to deny voting for Judge Merrick Garland until after the election of the next president! Do the often for the rest of the year. Send them all letters at their address and go to their web sites and tell them to delay Senate confirmation of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court of the United States!
Yes, it is a moderate amount of work, but what would you want, some work or a complete overturn of Heller? We will lose our Second Amendment Rights for at least a generation; maybe permanently.
Also, remember to register to vote and then show up at the polls and vote against anti-Second Amendment candidates!
