[William Tell]

"Donald Trump ... bad on the Second Amendment."

What nonsense.

While Trump's left hand was "outlawing" bump stocks with a worthless executive order, his right hand was appointing justices to join Thomas and Alito in making the Bruen decision.

My knee-jerk initial reaction to the Bruen decision was to note that the term "strict scrutiny" was missing from the decision. Only after a more careful reading did I realize that Thomas had thrown out the notion that our rights have to be constantly re-negotiated with the government. THEY DON'T !!!

Bruen makes clear that the negotiations ended when the Second Amendment was passed. It means today what it meant in 1791. It no longer matters what the government claims is a compelling reason to infringe. The right shall not be infringed.

The ramifications of Bruen have barely been felt yet. The lower courts are dragging their feet. When Trump appoints his first Supreme Court Justice in his second term, only then will we realize what a fabulous thing it was for Trump to be delayed for four years.

It was better for the courts to handle this. When your plate is full you have to let some things to for others to handle.

Would be nice to pick Cannon.
