Question for Sam Alito

As a dog who has seen the inside of more courtrooms than Harriet Miers AND TOLD HER SO, I had a question for Sam Alito.

In his dissent in U.S. vs. Rybar, 103 F.3d 273 (3rd Cir. 1996), he neglected to address the the Second Amendment defence made by Rybar.

Was that because he believed the Second Amendment is a collective right (I.e., belongs to the militia, or National Guard), or just an oversight on his part?

Inquiring dogs wish to know!

Next question, how in the heck could he argue that anything was not in interstate commerce? Does he think all people are peasants who don't leave their hometowns (Michael and him would be fabulous friends)?

Not to mention, I may be presenting a case before him at the SCOTUS! Pro bone publico, of course!

After all, I am smarter than the President of the United States!

As for my secret for sneaking into courtrooms, the security in Doylestown was nonexistant until about six months ago, which is part of my success in sneaking into courtrooms. Not to mention I used to go into certain civil courtrooms within the First Judicial district, which is just putting in security. But those are only a few of the many courtrooms I have been in.

Dear Laci:

I wish I could answer you in more detail. However, my current duties as a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE prevent me from conversing with dogs (except, of course, for Justice Ginsburg).

May I recommend you take your rant to a blowhard like Patrick Fitzgerald. He seems to have nothing better to do.

I would like to think that means my supposition is correct and you are indeed a collective rights follower.

That's OK, because everyone who knows you has said you were an excellent choice.

Watch what you say about Ruthie, Michael worked with someone who was her clerk. She's a good justice.

This court has some serious potential.

Who is this Michael character? No one is supposed to have a lapdog in our chambers except for Nino's scruffy pup Clarence.

Check Michael out in Forbes Magazine. He hasn't snuck me into the SCOTUS...YET! Arf!
