from page 32---

18 JUSTICE BREYER: Excuse me. If you look at
19 the history of it, it's certainly true that Congress did
20 intend to get misdemeanor domestic felonies.


"Misdemeanor domestic felonies"? I am still trying to wrap my head around this particular phrase taken from the arguments....

Do we have a new category of crime?

Lower the bar of what constitutes a felony is an easy way to give the illusion of disarming the public and a convenient way to infringe upon rights.

What bothers me about a lot of these cases is that many people are deprived of rights without due process.

Of course nowadays I have seen hints that due process simply means any process of the "system".

Those are not hints. I know that is how it's being used.

Due process is gone.

As tyrannical law makers, courts, and executive despots add never ending increments of " necessary balance " to the caveat "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" ..............an iron clad case for "ABSOLUTELY SHALL NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE INFRINGED" - is being established beyond any reasonable doubt.
