Clarence Thomas Breaks 10-Year Silence:
Speaks from Bench in Defense of Gun Rights
By AWR Hawkins. February 29th, 2016
On February 29, during a Supreme Court case revolving around misdemeanor domestic abusers and gun rights, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas broke his 10-year silence from the bench to ask the government's lawyer to list any other situation where a "misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right."
Thomas' question came in Voisine v United States, a case revolving around the loss of constitutional rights due to a misdemeanor charge of domestic abuse.
The plaintiff, Stephan Voisine, was arrested in 2009 for shooting a protected species. This eventually led to charges over illegal gun possession tied to a 2003 conviction of a "domestic violence misdemeanor." ...... 
This seems an encouraging move, seeing as all too often people get stripped of their Second Amendment right for what sometimes seems the most ridiculous 'infringement'.... that often going back many years after the event. Misdemeanor is not felony!
