From what I read so far, the 9th is going thru contortions to submit to overriding/precedent rulings - not so much because it wants to but because it has to (ex. “The Second Amendment protects a right that predates the Constitution; therefore, the Constitution did not grant it. ... It necessarily follows that the Privileges or Immunities Clause did not protect the right to keep and bear arms because it was not a right of citizens of the United States. See Cruikshank”). One hope is that an appeal would bring these bizzare overriding rulings into stark examination by SCOTUS, and be duly eviscerated.
18th century Americans,could if they wished and could afford one,have their own cannon!Ships often had six or eight to fight off pirates!
I'd love to see American flagged vessels with American citizen crews deliver a few dozen well-aimed 75mm shells to the pirates.
