Can anyone explain what is the impact/meaning of "findings"..

Findings of FACT. Legislative findings of the facts on which Congress based the passage of a law. Such as " machine guns are not arms covered by the 2nd Amendment because they were not the type of weapon commonly used in by the troops in warfare when the Constitution was enacted." (I just made that up, of course.)

When judges decide cases as opposed to juries, judges make their own "findings of facts" so that an appeals court can review their actions.

Little Dick is a moron. Asked and answered. It is protected but like Plessy it's not immune.
