Relaxation

I was feeling worn down and stressed from work, so I made arrangements to visit a nice little outdoor range with my father Thursday. He was needing a range trip as well, since he is in the process of rehabbing a broken wrist sustained while attempting to arrest a “young lady who did not feel like she needed to go to jail.”

We went early Thursday morning, arriving only a few minutes after the range opened. The range time was good – I got to fire my new toy, a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec, and he spent some time with both his department-issued Glock and a Ruger .357. The Glock visibly hurt him to fire, but the Ruger was fine, since he was firing light .38 loads through it.

I outshot him, as usual...comes from usually putting more rounds downrange in a month than he does in a year.

More relaxing was in order for me – in terms of stress, these past few weeks have been nasty, what with people quitting, and others not wanting to work, so I went to the Grand Reopening of a gun store. It was a Grand Reopening because they had just finished the process of moving into a new building that is substantially larger than the building they were in.

I didn't see much I fell in love with, but I did see some things. It's gotten to where I don't really get excited over EBRs and the like now – they all kinda look the same to me. I do lust after older firearms though, ones with history to them, and this store had a few that met that description. Saw a Webley .455, some Enfields, and a couple of Mosin-Nagants. I quickly learned to stay away from those, lest my bank account take a hit it didn't really need to take.

All in all, it was a good day off, which I needed. Especially since May 28th was graduation day for the local high schools, and it was a madhouse that night...not sure I would have made it with my sanity intact had I not had Thursday.

No Deference to Congress

Huh.

Elena Kagan believes that the Supreme Court is not "deferential enough" to Congress.

Hold on one moment while I attempt to keep my blood pressure from going up like Pompeii.

Ok, here we go:

In case no one ever informed you, you pimple on the ass of a halfway decent paralegal, IT IS NOT THE SUPREME COURT'S JOB TO BE DEFERENTIAL TO ANYTHING EXCEPT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IF ANYTHING, CONGRESS IS SUPPOSED TO BE DEFERENTIAL TO THE SUPREME COURT AND ABIDE BY ITS INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION.

If you ever want to be more than a worthless, scum sucking, slimy residue of a two week old afterbirth, you will READ THE CONSTITUTION, AS WELL AS THE OTHER WRITINGS OF OUR FOUNDERS and realize that the original intent of the Founders was to DENY the federal government any powers that were not explicitly granted via the Constitution.

That statement alone proves that you are completely unfit for practice as a judge at any level, much less at the level of the Supreme Court. Half the problems facing this country today come from the outdated and archaic concept of the Presumption of Constitutionality. This concept might have been worth something back when our political leadership was actually worth the price of a used Yugo, but has no place in society today, where some of our so-called "leaders" don't even know what is in the document they swore to uphold!

Cthulhu weeps. At least she'll be safe from the brain-eating zombies - she obviously doesn't have any nutritional value for them.

So yeah...

I thought I'd try this out and see how it goes. As the profile says, I am a delivery driver for Evil Multinational Pizza Corporation. I'm starting this thing to amuse myself, and to maybe blow off some steam every once in a while. No idea yet as to what I'll be rambling about, since my mind tends to wander in different places depending on my current caffeine level. No promises on updates either - as I said, I am in this to amuse myself. That being said, that's enough for now - don't want to get a reputation for being promiscuously long winded.
