Dead Cat Bounce

Two recent rulings -- one by the U. S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, and one by the Supreme Court -- are being used to invigorate those who believe in individual rights and the rule of law.

In the first ruling, the Court ruled that the 2nd Amendment does indeed apply to individuals. (Imagine our shock at discovering that the Constitution actually means what it says.) In the second, the Supremes upheld the constitutionality of the ban on partial-birth abortion.

Don't fall for it.

Our long downward slide into Hell has only hit a speed bump. As nice as they were, these two rulings are only a slight up-tick.

Even a dead cat will bounce.
