Senators Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York have filed an amicus curiae brief to have the Supreme Court dismiss the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc., v. City of New York.
A little history is in order. It has been Progressives that have blatantly politicized the Court for most of a century. It was Progressives that claimed the Constitution is only what the Court says it is. It was Progressives that claim the Constitution is a living document. It has been primarily Progressives that have created political projects to bring actions before the court to overrule the legislature.
It is the height of brazen presumption for Democrat senators to chide Conservatives for bringing political cases to the Supreme Court, especially about the Second Amendment.
The first Supreme Court case testing a federal gun control law was Miller. Miller was a blatant political case brought by an extreme proponent of federal gun control, who was appointed by FDR to the bench in 1933, Democrat Congressman Heartsill Ragon.

Yeah that can backfire many times
Their inner communist is showing.
That vote gives me hope that SCOTUS takes individual rights regarding firearms seriously.
Politicized courts for me, but NOT for thee.
If it weren’t for left-politicized courts over-ruling or twisting popular votes and constitutional laws, the left would be the losers they truly are.
“Obstruction also applies to overt coercion of court or government officials via the means of threats or actual physical harm, and also applying to deliberate sedition against a court official to undermine the appearance of legitimate authority.”

Senators Threaten Supreme Court on New York Second Amendment Case.
Assholes whistling as they crawl past the grave yard in the dark. Idiots!!
They threatened them last week too. Yes, trust these guys with red flag laws.
Their last batch of rulings were centrist at best.
Many Freepers have suggested letting trump sign red flag rules, then trust the sc to uphold the Constitution.
I keep wondering when they last upheld it. By the nu.bers, their rulings has been against it.
They are owned.
“then trust the sc to uphold the Constitution.”
TRUST SCOTUS? John Roberts’ Obamacare decision makes me not trust SCOTUS. And he’s over the FISA judges who, IMHO, were co-conspirators with Hillary, Obama, Comey, etc., for the last three years.
I’m with you.. but I am hearing from several freepers to let trump sign gun control so the court can overturn it.
They are calling him signing more gun control a strategic masterpiece.
Think about that.. if folks on fr are supporting this, it is serious.
He has signed a bumpstock ban and he is clearly trending anti 2A.
I am not sure if he is just bored with the presidency or what.
I dont vote for gun grabbers, ever.
I’m afraid they don’t have to threaten Roberts. I really don’t want this SC getting another whack at the 2nd. I was hoping patriots in blue states would endure these laws and hold out for Trump to get another pick.
If only Ginsberg would up and croak.
Perhaps Trump can beat them to the punch, and then watch as all these tools who are calling for this “threat” come out all cloaked in outrage and the Constitution over how horrible this expansion would be for the country and end to democracy..... like the epic flip flops on immigration, crime.... that the left has done over the past decades. As always demonrat=socialist=progressive=leftist=liberal=hater=liar=hypocrite
2nd Amendment / SCOTUS bump for later.....
If Trump were to come out to repeal the 2nd Ammendment, democrats would demand free machine guns for the underprivileged.
Tell these assholes to GFY.
Tell these assholes to GFY.
Four despicable anti-American communists.
“They are calling him signing more gun control a strategic masterpiece.”
I call it terrifying — and career limiting.
