The justices are meeting in private Friday to discuss adding new cases to their docket for the fall. Among the prospects is an appeal from gun rights advocates that asks the court to declare a constitutional right to carry a handgun outside the home for self-protection.
It’s the first major gun case to come before the court since Amy Coney Barrett became a justice in late October and expanded the conservative majority to 6-3.
And they've done what for us lately?
ReplyDeleteWhat have they done for us lately? How about that thing, you know, the one called anal sex?

ReplyDeleteIt's sad this even has to be discussed. The 2nd Amendment plainly states that the right to carry SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!

- The US Supreme Court
From the article:
ReplyDelete"Federal courts have largely upheld the permit limits. On Wednesday, an 11-judge panel of the federal appeals court in San Francisco rejected a challenge to Hawaii’s permit regulations in an opinion written by a conservative judge, Jay Bybee.
“Our review of more than 700 years of English and American legal history reveals a strong theme: government has the power to regulate arms in the public square,” Bybee wrote in a 7-4 decision for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals."
If "We've always done it this way" is the criteria, then I'd like to point out that chattel slavery has a much longer record, and has been only recently been outlawed.
And the gunnies are not asking the Supreme Court to "expand gun rights", they'er asking the Court to recognize" them.
