Supreme Court Turns away ALL Second Amendment Cases

[SomeOtherGuy]

I had a county judge tell me years ago the Supreme Court isn’t right, it’s last. It’s only as good as the judges and apparently either the establishment gets to the good judges or the ones which were assumed to be good judges weren’t.

He was trying to copy a famous quote of Justice Robert Jackson:

We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final.

Are you referring to a war on guns?

Why do you think they emptied the prisons in some states? It's coming....

What does this mean?

It means that historically Leftists have used convicts and criminals to deal with their enemies. These people are used as muscle to topple governments and to punish those who support them and political enemies of the movement. Right now this nation and it's culture and history is being attacked. Before they can raise up a new order they must destroy and discredit the old one. It always ends the same way- with the enemies of the revolution digging their own graves and kneeling next to them waiting for the bullet or hammer..... This is nothing new. That people cannot see this for what it is is pretty disturbing.

The two so-called conservative/originalist justices managed to interpret the 1964 Civil Rights Act...the part about sex...to include sexual orientation and transgenderism. The original law, in the context of when it was written had absolutely nothing to do with those two things...it meant men and women. They totally made up and applied their own bogus view on the law. That is without a doubt legislating from the bench and the other, actual, conservatives called them out on it. This doesn't bode well for the 2nd. I have zero confidence that these two will get it right. They showed this time around a total unwillingness to take on the 2nd and even if and when they do, it'll be a crap shoot what they will decide.

Wouldnt it be an absolute HOOT if Trump were to win again..and decides to do what the demonrats threatened to do awhile back..and added a couple more conservative{ hopefully REAL ones} justices for a total of 11?
What a kick in the pants that would be.
Could that happen in the Senate alone, or would both the House & Senate need to act together on that?

If memory serves, you'd need the "Triple Crown" to do it--as a practical matter, you'd need blowout conservative majorities to overcome the Rockefeller Wing playing "Junior Coalition Partner" with the D's.

Is there any doubt left that Roberts is a leftist? Not in my mind.

Or something more sinister than that. Wasn't there something brought up that people were thinking that he has been blackmailed or intimidated by something in his past to change his opinion on the Obamacare mandate? Don't know what ever became of that story, but I can't find it on the internet.

I vaguely remember something to that effect. I have no idea if it's true or not.

The little bit I did find concerns some sketchy procedures in his adoption of two kids and the Obamas using that to blackmail him to swing his vote on the Obamacare mandate even though he was against it and said it was illegal... and he did this twice. It is weird that he was nominated under the premise that he was a conservative justice and has pretty much voted left of center. These days, anything is possible.
