Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley, Fox News host Shannon Bream and former assistant U.S. attorney Andy McCarthy discuss the details and implications of the 6-3 ruling.

2nd Amendment wins!

[Eleutheria5]

Nyah! Nyah!

[Red Badger]

Why is it ‘momentous’ to adhere to the rule of law?.....................

[metmom]

Because it keeps the left from full out totalitarian rule of our country.

[jarwulf]

Gee I wonder what the 6-3 breakdown was?

[Yo-Yo]

This opinion is going to be Justice Thomas’ magnum opus.

[RandallFlagg]

HEH! At 58 seconds in the video, it sounds like he said, “By preventing lullabying-da-citizens.”

I have a sinking feeling this week that SCOTUS is throwing out a few bones to conservatives in anticipation of their abortion decision upholding Roe.

I hope I am wrong.

[bigdaddy45]

Pretty (pleasantly) surprised that Roberts was in the majority on this one.

[dangus]

>> Why is it ‘momentous’ to adhere to the rule of law?..................... <<

Because it’s such an unusual event?

[hellinahandcart]

Thank you, President Trump.

“SCOTUS is throwing out a few bones to conservatives“

Well, it would not be the first time they did that. It will not surprise me.

"Why is it ‘momentous’ to adhere to the rule of law?"

Because they did.

There is a huge number of laws that will need to be torn up.

[marktwain]

Why is it ‘momentous’ to adhere to the rule of law?.....................

Because we have been ignoring the rule of law for 50 plus years?

[Eleutheria5]

Because when Adam Schitt and Nanshy Peloushi say that phrase, it sounds like an Orwellian obscenity. They mean something entirely different.

[1Old Pro]

Because we have been ignoring the rule of law for 50 plus years?

Almost twice that time

[Cboldt]

-- Why is it `momentous' to adhere to the rule of law?..... --

And get this. The law that was just ruled unconstitutional has been on the books for 110 years.

Entire generations were deprived of a constitutional right and SCOTUS stood by. I guarantee this is not the first time the law was challenged in court. Upheld every other time.

Contrast with Scalia upholding the GCA of 1968 and NFA of 1934 by declaration them to be "long standing" therefore constitutional limitations.

Mind you, I'm glad the case didn't go the other way. But it's worth observing the nature of the legal system.

Pretty (pleasantly) surprised that Roberts was in the majority on this one.

With a caveat. Read what Roberts said was ok for states to do.
