In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously sided with the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Thursday, ruling that the New York State Department of Financial Services violated the NRA’s First Amendment rights by effectively blacklisting the group.
The decision, surprisingly authored by far-left Justice Sonia Sotomayor, affirmed that the NRA “plausibly alleged” that its free speech rights were stifled by the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) under directives perceived to be politically motivated.

I guess she’s not running off to her ‘safe space’ and crying about this one ...
Sotomayor? Pinch me...
Let’s see these nut jobs show up at her house now..
Soto!?
wow!
maybe she’s off her commie meds?
The Wise Latina is a bit of a cipher ... reliably leftist for sure, but occasionally gets something spectacularly right.
Did the wise latinx weep while writing it?
Cuomo is/was a corrupt @$$***e on SO many levels
When I saw this story earlier in the morning on Zero Hedge it seemed like SCOTUS is sending a very clear message about free speech.
Now whether the politicians/bureaucrats actually listen to what SCOTUS has to say or not is an entirely different matter.
they are doing this to protect naacp, planned parenthood...etc etc
because you know, trump is going to be the president.
She’s not so much for NRA as she is for free speech.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing the decision is the real good news... This shows that the liberal Justices are already seeing the writing on the wall.
The media and their own party, the Democrats, are laying the ground work to undermine the Supreme Court and make their decisions appear biased and therefor, illegitimate. This is a threat to the institution that they represent... When they come down on Trump’s side... It will be a unanimous decision with all the Justices agreeing that Trump as a former President, is immune from partisan prosecutions and charges.
yeah, well it is wonderful she voted correctly and we hope she keeps it up
She is like the ACLU who helps a conservative just often to claim true to cause but it’s a head fake because actually they are a nation killing cancer.
Who saw that coming? Certainly not the Bidopedophiles who put her there.
Now there need to be criminal charges against the bureaucrat.
I haven’t read the opinion, but it’s possible that this could be extended to the government’s squelching of “disinformation.”
Blind squirrel analogy comes to mind.
Actually Client 9 began NY lawfare. All these corrupt politicians, judges and lawyers have skeletons in their closet. It’s time to expose them.
Hmmm...
Wondered why I saw that herd oinking its way across the sky a little while ago...
“ After the votes have been tallied, the Chief Justice, or the most senior Justice in the majority if the Chief Justice is in the dissent, assigns a Justice in the majority to write the opinion of the Court.”
Justice Roberts, seeing what the decision was going to be, convinced Sotomayor to join it in exchange for letting her write the decision
I’m sure that Thomas or Alito would have written a much more pro-2A decision
