Please oppose the confirmation of Elissa Cadish

Majority Leader Harry Reid is attempting to push yet another radical anti-gunner through the U.S. Senate. This time it's Elissa Cadish, who flatly denies that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental right. Asked in 2008 by a group called Citizens for Responsible Government whether she believed an individual citizen had a constitutional right to keep and bear arms, Cadish answered: "I do not believe there is this constitutional right. Thus, I believe that reasonable restrictions may be imposed on gun ownership in the interest of public safety. Of course, I will enforce the laws as they exist as a judge." [sic] Now, she claims that she was only stating the law as it existed before the Supreme Court's Heller v. D.C. decision. But let's count the "red flags" raised by Cadish: First, the "militia" theory was not "the law" prior to Heller, either in terms of the Framers' intentions or in terms of the Supreme Court's admittedly muddled jurisprudence. Second, the concept that "restrictions ... on gun ownership [further] public safety" is a thinly veiled suggestion that, once on the bench for life, Cadish will do everything possible to thwart gun owners' rights. Third, we've heard the "enforce the law" lingo from other Obama nominees, including Sonia Sotomayor, who, as soon as she had secured confirmation, went on an anti-Second Amendment rampage. Thankfully, Nevada's other Senator, Dean Heller, is using his prerogative as one of the nominee's home state Senators to keep the Cadish confirmation from moving forward. I urge you to join with Senator Heller in opposing the confirmation of Elissa Cadish http://capwiz.com/gunowners/issues/alert/?alertid=61182881&PROCESS=Take+Action
