The Free Market and its Enemies
Thomas Costanzo
“Highly graduated taxation realizes most completely the
supreme anger of democracy. Creating a
state of things in which one class imposes on another burdens which it is not
asked to share, and impels the state into vast schemes of extravagance, under
the belief that the whole costs will be thrown upon others.” W.E.H. Lecky

Sotomayer Overlooks All 14 Supreme Court Self-Defense Cases
Thomas Costanzo
High Court has examined every
aspect of self defense
Entire
nation falsely believes the issue has never come up
Sotomayer Misses All 14 Self Defense Cases
In Congressional testimony, Supreme Court nominee
Sonia Sotomayer claimed she couldn't think of a self-defense case having come
before the Supreme Court, adding, "I could be wrong, but I can't think of
one." Independent research shows that fourteen separate Supreme Court
cases, from 1895 to 1985, addressed every basic aspect of personal self
defense. All of them held that self defense is a valid, justifiable and long-standing
tenet of American law.
The Bloomfield Press book "Supreme Court Gun
Cases" (Kopel, Halbrook, Korwin), released in 2003 and in the Supreme
Court's library, covers the 92 High Court gun cases in existence at that time.
Four additional gun cases (plus the original 92) are included in the followup,

Longest Solar Eclipse
07-21-2009
•
arclein
The eclipse is extra-long because of a lucky coincidence, made possible by the elliptical shape of planetary orbits. On July 22nd, Earth happens to be near its farthest point from the sun. A small sun means the Moon can cover it longer. At the same time, the Moon will be near its closest point to Earth. A large Moon covers the sun longer, lengthening the eclipse even more.
