I was going to say that 2/3, that is 4 of 6, was a better estimate, if you use the second amendment as a litmus test. Since 3 or fewer voted to hear the Silveira case, and likely will vote to hear any other second amendment case in the near to medium future. It takes only 4 Justices voting to hear a case to get the case heard.

Has there been any speculation about who, [if any] voted to hear Silveira?

It would not surprise me if the answer is none.

The fix is in, [imo] on our RKBA's.

This administration is giving lip service to an 'individual right' to possess legally sold licensed firearms, while backing prohibitory regulations on military style assault weapon types, and on private transfers, as per current CA 'laws'.
We are going to lose our right to keep & sell arms, bit by bit, by bureaucratic decree, fully supported by RINO politicians, and a RINO Court.

Bet on it.
