Hawaii Supreme Court Rejects Major Second Amendment Rulings in New Gun-Carry Decision

Interesting ruling from Hawaii. It seems the Court thinks SCOTUS rulings regarding the Second Amendment do not apply in their state.

[Darksheare]

Seems they don’t think or like the idea that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
I’m okay with removing theur state status and putting them back to a mere possession.

America is going to eventually divide into five or six different regions. We are no longer united.

Here is a link to the ruling itself.

Pretty much, unless something drastic changes it.

Well if Hawaii’s state constitution counteracts the Supreme Court decision— then so should all state constitutions counteract the Court when it says marriage is between a man and a woman

Secession now..secession forever.

[Recompennation]

States Rights. A slippery slope for liberal idiots.

[Gaffer]

I never understood the statehood thing, really. Should never have happened. Hawaii shouldn’t have Interstate Highways; they should be taxed out the wazoo on all that foreign money they rake it.

hawaii is controlled by the bishop trust which owns much of the land in places such as waikiki and maui (people take out leases, not deeds). the local politicians and the trustees are in lockstep preseving their power at all costs. the illusions of democracy and individual rights are preserved for show. IRL, ordinary folks get screwed. I’ve heard it is actually somewhat worse than this, but this gives a general flavor.

[Political Junkie Too]

Blue states are going to declare themselves sanctuaries from the entire Constitution soon.

Once President Trump regains office, Hawaii will declare Article II to be null and void in Hawaii.

Are the new billionaire compound owners dictating the rule of law there so that only their personal armies will have weapons?

[justme4now]

The states, just like the feds and SCOTUS are under the “Supremacy Clause!”
(Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution)

Any laws passed that are in violation of the Federal Constitution, whether by state or feds are null and void!

Not even if congress were to pass it or the SCOTUS were to confirm it!

A few years ago the Massachusetts state Supreme Court upheld the conviction of a woman on a weapons charge. She appealed her conviction on 2nd Amendment grounds and the court rehjected her appeal..

But it wound up in the Federal courts and SCOTUS agreed to hear the case. In "Caetano v Massachusetts" SCOTUS ruled...9-0...in Caetano's favor. At one point during the decision's narrative SCOTUS referred to the state court's reasoning in upholding her conviction as "frivolous".

I'm sure this guy's appeals lawyers will be aware of this ruling...and other recent SCOTUS decisions.

[Bonemaker]

It shouldn’t even be a state...the New York of the Pacific.

[Nifty]

Evidentially no one on the court appreciated the original Magnum PI.

[Gay State Conservative]

Just the other day The Big Guy was boasting about having “forgiven” student debt and he said something like “the Supreme Court blocked me but they didn't stop me”. A direct display of contempt for SCOTUS rulings that they don't like. IIRC the same thing happened with Osama Obama and the “dreamers”. He frequently said that he didn't have the power to allow them to stay but then he did so. Rat Party Headquarters now has the attitude that they'll ignore court decisions they don't like.

[GreenLanternCorps]

This, it’s going to get appealed to the USSC, which will slap down the Hawaii SC.

The Constitution is invalid, but the birth certificate is real.

[Elsie]

Interesting?

I found it quite confusing!
