...Thomas and Gorsuch dissented vociferously, essentially declaring that the Second Amendment grants individuals a right to carry loaded firearms in public Not even the archconservative Alito joined their bizarre opinion. It appears Gorsuch is eager to strike down almost any law that limits the right to keep and bear arms in any way. If adopted by the court, Gorsuchs theory would effectively bar state and local governments from passing almost any kind of gun safety legislation.
The article goes on and concludes at the end:
When Trump first nominated Gorsuch, I was relieved he hadnt picked an outright lunatic, and I felt cautiously optimistic that Gorsuch might be less of a hard-line conservative than liberals believed. I was wrong. Gorsuch is the worst kind of justice. He is a reactionary who dresses up his cruel, antediluvian views in folksy charm; who professes restraint while espousing extreme, sweeping views; who has no sympathy for vulnerable minorities but believes Christians are being oppressed. And he will guide the course of the law for the next 30 years or more. He is a catastrophe for proponents of civil rights and equal justice. And his influence over the court only stands to grow.
In related news, FReeper Pinkbell, who expressed skepticism about Gorsuch, joyfully eats crow today.

Isn’t bearing arms one of our “civil liberties?”

Over the target and taking flak; Judge Gorsuch is our guy. :)

When was the last time a Democrat nominated a less than flaming liberal to the court?

Slate doesn’t like him? Proof positive he is the right man for SCOTUS. Slate’s probably crying, because legalization of pedophilia ain’t going to happen this year.

WTF is the "progressive constitutional project"?That's the one where liberals get to pencil in any damn thing they want and it becomes part of the Constitution.

Upholding the Constitution is extreme to the liberals.
Thanks for posting the happy news.
