    not relevant. at best dicta can be persuasive authority in subsequent cases but it has no value as precedent

    why don't you explain why since I don't think you really understand constitutional law

    The SC decides what's constitutional, not you.

    What part of "take you pick" is unclear?

    Heck, read your own posts, they're worshipful regurgitations of his mantras.

    that's an irrelevant response-why not just admit you really don't understand constitutional law and your constant parroting of Scalia dicta in Heller is because you don't understand that this dicta is not controlling authority

    why don't you explain to us why Scalia's dicta is relevant especially in light of McDonald

    If your view is correct then there should no laws, rules, or regulations of any kind that apply to guns.

    wrong as usual and you know that is not my position

    I already stated what my position was and I knew you read it so why make a claim you know is not accurate.

    Yes it is, that's what "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" means.

    Yep, you showing what you don't know is hilarious, in a most pathetic way.

    Obviously you haven't a clue how far reaching an America boosting the inflation reduction act is. I sense you think it's limited to only helping with what it's name suggests. 8)

    It's much more far reaching that you think. We will soon be one of if not THE leading manufacturer, in the world,of cutting edge computer chips because of the inflation reduction act; and that's just one item on the list. Thank you President Biden. :)

    LOL, this looks like a paid advertisement for senile joe. the real inflation still robs working people of their money. remind me what the price of gas is now, compared to when Trump left office

    Not paid but President Biden's IRA is a winner for ALL Americans. I guess you haven't noticed but post pandemic inflation is under control and America had a softer post pandemic landing than any other Western Nation.

    Biden's leaking borders is a serious threat to all Americans. His picking people based on their race or gender rather than qualifications is going to be a problem for decades

    Keep changing the argument. You should catch up on the news. TRaitor tRump is on record demanding that our border is not fixed.

    The border problems are tRaitor tRump’s baby now!
