"Maybe he has had some influence on her."

Wouldn't that be something? We seem to see cases where Republican appointed justices have drifted left. Wouldn't it be incredibly satisfying if the Court became solidly conservative not only because of Trump's appointments but because of the effect of the wisdom of such appointees on the other justices?

I referred in a posting above to discussions regarding "bearing arms". I believe it was Ginsburg who properly recognized that such a term simply meant to "carry arms". Unfortunately, she doesn't recognize a right to self-defense so she remained on the wrong side of the decision.

Liberals dare not embrace a right to self-defense. The right to defense of family, community, and nation are natural consequences of such a right. Progressives could never support such a concept.
