Aug 18 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas has declared that a regulation adopted by Democratic former President Joe Biden's administration targeting largely untraceable "ghost guns" is unconstitutional — a ruling issued after the U.S. Supreme Court last year upheld the measure.
U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth ruled, opens new tab on Monday that the 2022 rule violates the right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment and was too vague to satisfy the Fifth Amendment's due process guarantees.

"[T]he Final Rule is unconstitutional under the 2nd Amendment & void for vagueness under the Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment..."
Court’s ruling here (29 pgs):

Seriously, how can U.S. District Judge O’Conner overrule the Supreme Court?
From the ruling:
“Plaintiffs argue that the Final Rule is void for vagueness in violation of the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause because it does not provide fair notice of what is punishable and invites arbitrary enforcement. As a threshold matter, the Parties agree that the Supreme Court did not address any constitutional issues in Bondi. Thus the Court proceeds with Plaintiffs’ challenge.”
No such thing as a ghost gun
More winning!
;-)
As correctly noted, the original Supreme Court ruling did not address any issue of whether the Constitution was violated.
This ruling finds the “Final rule” violated both the Second Amendment the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
Should be Second Amendment and the Fifth Amendment.
Accidentally left out the “and”.
Methinks Roberts will worked his clerks overtime to try and find any “emanating umbra” of “historical jurisprudence” or “international norms” to reverse the shift back to the Founder’s explicit intent of the Second Amendment as a check and balance against Government tyranny as per Federalist 46.
