Thomas nails it, as usual.

We need another Trump appointee on the Supreme Court.

we sure do need more sane nominees to the SCt, ASAP!

nominees that will at least read, and follow our Constitution for a change!

the current illegality at the Court is ... intolerable for a free society

Justice Thomas is right.

We are waiting to see if President Trump will stand or fold.

He appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch who it should be noted did not back up Justice Thomas in this matter.

A bump stock ban is not a move in the right direction.

But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit reversed the District Court on appeal, upholding the regulation based on what it called the "common sense understanding" that a 10-day "cooling off" period for gun buyers can help to reduce gun violence.

9th Circus again. I was under the impression that appellate courts ruled on the law, not on the basis of "common sense understandings" with not a single shred of evidence to back them up.

Ginsberg’s and Sotomayor’s health is failing. Kennedy is getting very old as is Breyer.

As if anyone needed another excuse to not live in California. I say, leave all the libs there, and let Northern California split away from the socialists. At least the crazies will have to put up with their own BS.

This is why the Supreme Court is so important.

And to think, there were never-Trumpers who would rather have had Hillary making those choices.

There is hope, rumor has it Kennedy is floating retirement.

Shame we don’t know how many of the other justices voted with Thomas on this. Couldn’t have been more than two but it would be nice to know.

They’ll probably try for a 10-year waiting period next.

How long do the Drunken Justice and the Wise Latina have to wait to buy a firearm?

I could support the same approach regarding the 1st... You know, a common sense restriction on people spouting opinions in public until at least 10 days after they know what they’re talking about.
I wonder how the court would feel about that?

I bought my first handgun back in 1967 California. Three day waiting period. Out of state. The next year all that changed.

Be a shame if Ruth and that wise Latina croaked or something.

We need as much as anything a clear answer from appointees, Do you own guns? If not, they should not be on the court and should recuse themselves from 2nd amendment questions. Tired of this kind of BS where the justices are ruling the 2nd amendment out of existence. Have they already forgotten their Heller decision? Or others.

“We need another Trump appointee on the Supreme Court. “

More importantly, we need Roberts gone!

I’m hoping for two this year, when Kennedy retires and Sleepy Ginsburg doesn’t wake up.

For sure we do need better judges. But why do we have to have such important things going to court where the 9th circuit gets to over rule every thing-seems like a bad play with a stacked deck.
