And so true. If you don't like the court's decisions, pack it until you get a monopoly that swings to your point of view. Never mind the constitution. With the court's first decision, it has been political. Chief Justice Roberts was a strict originalist until he realized his political power. Now he swings like a wind mill and every decision is so narrowly define as to assure future suits and whoever is in power can get the decisions they want.
“It is emphatically the duty of the Judicial department to say what the law is.” Marbury v. Madison. But “not what the law ought to be.” (maybe a hundred cases that followed.) It’s an interesting concept, but those two statements describe the function of courts in our country.
Interesting what the SCOTUS has just recently said then! And New York is even now evolving the most complex, arcane, and convoluted set of licensing laws it can possibly evolve in order to effectively get around what the justices wrote.
I concur. I never understood why anyone would prosecute someone for a righteous act of self defence. If you law banning conceal firearms didn’t prevent them from being robbed, then what use was the law?
Actually it is because the Supreme Court really did say that the constitution says what they claimed instead. It's referencing a Supreme Court case that's what makes it funny
Hollywood doesn't make shows like this anymore, clever and hilarious, you couldn't wait for the next episode.Boston Legal was and still is one of my favorites
Shatner role in this series defines him. He may have become famous with Star Trek, and I watched that series religiously, but Boston Legal gave him the chance to to truly act.
I have never seen this show before, but this scene single handedly broke me! I have been in tears with the "STAAAAHP IT" pure controlled chaos that make a judge break and freak out. dear god this show is something else.
I brought the Box set (I still like my DVD's & I've got a fine collection..if somethings good I can watch it again & again with enough time inbetween each viewing!) What a show!! What writing!! LOVE it😁
Didn't shoot to kill. Took a knee. And two feet. Boom! Boom! And Boom! One more thing would've made it perfect. Those two words which when spoken bring fear and awe into the minds and hearts of mortal man: "Denny Crane"
I agree. Don't shoot to kill. Shoot to stop, permanently. If they didn't want to be stopped permanently, then they should never have threatened the shooter with a firearm.. Wounding them will give them cause to come back and kill you without warning.
What really makes it great acting, is that you have to remember both sets of lines, because after the prosecutor objects, they go though the whole thing again, only then they switch around the lines. The ones that Denny uses, are Carls in the first run, and vice versa.
Lawyer: Show me where in the constitution it says you can walk the streets armed without a carry permit. Me: Show me where in the constitution it says I can't.
My stomach hurts from laughing so much, this is comedy gold. The camera panning back and forth during the banter, not once but twice, resulting in the judge outburst.....rolling with laughter! I miss this series
@@nicholassmith7984 No, I'd say that they're making the point that gun laws will only effectively apply to law abiding people because the criminals won't obey those laws.
@@crucisnh That's like saying that finance laws will only effectively apply to law abiding people because the criminals won't obey those laws. Or road laws only effectively apply to law abiding people because the criminals won't obey those laws. Or drug laws only effectively apply to law abiding people because the criminals won't obey those laws. When a law exists, you can follow it or not. If you follow it, you are law-abiding. If you do not, that is a crime and you should face consequences as such.
@@nicholassmith7984 no, because most laws prevent things that are inherently wrong. The idea behind banning/restricting guns is that doing so will prevent people from using those guns to do things that are inherently wrong. This argument does hold up because the actual crime that all these laws are trying to prevent is murder/assault, so that is what should be illegal, not simply carrying a gun.
@@rohanmodi1808 Murder and assault already are illegal, and carrying a gun frequently only increases the chances of that happening. Just look at the number of deaths in the US that occur over 'road rage' incidents or petty arguments, or because someone was 'cleaning' their inexplicably loaded gun at a kids party. People are only 'responsible gun owners' until they aren't, at which point people are usually dead who shouldn't be. How is that not inherently wrong? Besides, who/what are you 'defending' yourself against that you need multiple military-grade firearms capable of holding a ridiculous number of bullets and fire them off at an insane rate? The fact is, the US is the only 'developed' nation that has this problem at this scale, meaning the current state of things simply isn't working.
My god: John Larroquete was a beautiful addition to this TV show! 💫 Just as smart as Denny, just as funny and "slightly" less arrogant 👆🏻😏😉 just wonderful! 👌🏻 Somebody, please: BRING THIS MASTERPIECE OF A TV SHOW BACK!!! 🙏🏻
Henry Gibson from Laugh-In and the Blues Brothers, John Laroquette from Night Court and William Shatner from Star Trek. These were some really heavy hitters riffing off each other like John Coltrane and his band.
These 4 actors who are funny by themselves, they are hysterical when each one is playing the straight man. This short clip reminded me of Abbott and Castello. Their timing was perfect.
Which is why most people aren’t for banning guns, but regulations for gun sales. Background checks, lower count magazines, waiting periods. Not eliminating guns but reducing access those that shouldn’t have it. And even if it only makes it harder for criminals to get guns, it could mean less people dying, while still allowing honest citizens the ability to defend themselves.
@@finris1 Precisely. Gun CONTROL, not abolition. Unfortunately, the NRA loves to gaslight the whole "first they stop the mentally ill from buying guns, next they're going to confiscate all guns everywhere!".
