The Supreme Court term, which begins Monday, will be the culmination of five decades of efforts by conservatives to seize control of the court....
This will be the first full term with five staunch conservatives: Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett....
The court’s most watched case — Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, to be argued on Dec. 1 — could dismantle principles of abortion rights set in 1973...
Another area the court will reopen for consideration is gun rights. From 1791, when the 2nd Amendment was ratified, until 2008, not one federal, state or local gun regulation was struck down. But the court in 2008 declared unconstitutional a Washington, D.C., ordinance that prohibited private ownership or possession of handguns. The 5-4 opinion in District of Columbia vs. Heller, written by Justice Antonin Scalia, said that the 2nd Amendment protects a right to have guns in the home for the sake of security.
A case this year, Carson vs. Makin, to be argued Dec. 8, raises this issue even more broadly. It involves areas of Maine that are too sparsely populated to support public schools. The state government, through school administrative units, provides parents funds to send their children to private schools but the money cannot be used for religious schools. The issue is whether the government’s refusal to pay for religious school tuition is unconstitutional. The court is likely to say yes, further opening the door to using taxpayer money to finance religious education.

Allowing the 2A to be for the people, allowing parents to use their taxes for the school of their choice, giving the unborn the right to life, don't see a downside.
But to paraphrase the left, the right to kill babies is being taken.
Sure they do. Almost thought this was a Babylon bee post.
Did the LA Times print that headline just to make me feel good? If so, it worked.
Watch for more of these articles in the Demedia. If they start popping up, that means the Dems have conferred on a strategy to train the American voters to accept court packing.

Or "we may kill lots of babies but we don't use nasty guns to do it."
What's not to like?
Is that what they meant to say? Shouldn't it be whether using tax dollars to pay for religious schools is unconstitutional?
that’s why F*Jo Bi-den is squatting in the WH then... right???

“When you got it, flaunt it.”
I think they give the court members too much credit for making change. First off very few on guns, they are a product of inner city and likely not to be very big on changing existing gun laws. I think in a lot of matters we’re going to find them very middle of the road regardless of their personal conservative values or not.
It is unlikely that the Democrats will have a majority in the House and Senate long enough to pack the court. Their opportunity has already come and went.
This article is the equivalent of that Ron DeSantis ad from last week with him saying, “we’re a free state,” and words like “blood on his hands!”
These crazy conservatives are gonna kill us all by not allowing us to kill our babies!
Alternate reality.
I don’t trust qny court.
They don’t like guns because they make loud noises.
Abortions are quieter. So they’re okay.
They still have 15 months. A supreme court decision allowing states to restrict abortions would definitely motivate the left to attempt it.
No, I think mansion and others have already said no to packing the court. They don’t have a majority unless people like Romney crossover to support them.
Manchin, not mansion, Siri at work again.
Chemerinsky is the most depraved Maoist imaginable...it gives me hope to know that he’s ready to hang himself.
