Finally, Senator Hutchison makes a move to verify her credentials as a conservative. Maybe not her first move in that direction, but it's definitely a good move for her to help establish in every state's law as well as in federal law an inherent human right that the authors of the Constitution intended to guarantee to every American.

Sen. Tester, who serves as Vice Chairman of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, said, "The Second Amendment guarantees gun rights for all law-abiding Americans, no matter where they live. I'm glad Republicans and Democrats are working together to tell the Supreme Court we expect it to stand up for our gun rights in this important case."
I wonder which Democrats are working together with Republicans to tell the Supreme Court to stand up for our gun rights. They must be a few of the blue-dog southerners who will have to have the approval of their gun-owning constituents next year in the state Congressional elections.

The case will address the application of the Second Amendment to the states through either the Due Process clause or the Privileges or Immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Does this make sense...
The case will address the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to the states through either the Keep and Bear Arms clause or the Can't Be Infringed clause of the Second Amendment?
The BoR applies to all the States. You can't opt in or out.

Finally, Senator Hutchison makes a move to verify her credentials as a conservative.A 90% rating by the ACU and she has to "make a move"?
She can make a move all she wants, but she can't shake her past.
Hutchison seeks to reframe conservatism issue as style, not substance
"Overall, she's very conservative," said John Gizzi, political editor at Human Events, a conservative magazine. "But she is pro-choice. She would never overturn Roe v. Wade."
He identified another factor that has fueled mistrust: In 1976, the senator and her husband backed President Gerald Ford against challenger and future GOP hero Ronald Reagan. Primary voters punished Ray Hutchison two years later when he lost a run for governor.
"The Texas breed of elephant has a long memory," Gizzi said. "She has never been able to shake that off."
DOH!
Yeah, yeah, The Dallas Morning News is a liberal rag.
It's the broken clock syndrome.
