Thomas nails it, as usual.
We need another Trump appointee on the Supreme Court.

Justice Thomas is right.
We are waiting to see if President Trump will stand or fold.
He appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch who it should be noted did not back up Justice Thomas in this matter.
A bump stock ban is not a move in the right direction.

But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit reversed the District Court on appeal, upholding the regulation based on what it called the "common sense understanding" that a 10-day "cooling off" period for gun buyers can help to reduce gun violence. 9th Circus again. I was under the impression that appellate courts ruled on the law, not on the basis of "common sense understandings" with not a single shred of evidence to back them up.

“common sense understandings”
In other words, their personal prejudices.

Ginsberg’s and Sotomayor’s health is failing. Kennedy is getting very old as is Breyer.

As if anyone needed another excuse to not live in California. I say, leave all the libs there, and let Northern California split away from the socialists. At least the crazies will have to put up with their own BS.

This is why the Supreme Court is so important.
And to think, there were never-Trumpers who would rather have had Hillary making those choices.
To: Blood of Tyrants
Yes, it might be better to wait until there is another conservative on the Court.

Shame we don’t know how many of the other justices voted with Thomas on this. Couldn’t have been more than two but it would be nice to know.
To: marktwain
They’ll probably try for a 10-year waiting period next.

I could support the same approach regarding the 1st... You know, a common sense restriction on people spouting opinions in public until at least 10 days after they know what they’re talking about.
I wonder how the court would feel about that?

I bought my first handgun back in 1967 California. Three day waiting period. Out of state. The next year all that changed.

“This is why the Supreme Court is so important. “
It’s only important because Congress & the executive have ceded their authority to SCROTUS. It was never ‘designed’ to have such power under the Constitution.
