No one is stopping you from breaking a federal gun law and going to SCOTUS over it.

That is EXACTLY what the White House is trying to prevent Emerson from doing,and I have always been lead to believe the WH has a certain amount of influence.

This doesn't prevent that in any way, and in fact it strengthens your case.

How does giving a STRONG hint to the Supreme Court that the WH doesn't want them to hear a 2nd Amendment case strengthen future 2nd amendment cases?

No, Pete. The Supreme court does not take orders from the Justice Department on what cases it will hear. If four Justices want to rule on 2a, they'll accept any case that comes along. If not, they won't.

I understand that you need to find something bad in everything Bush does, but this is the wrong conspiracy theory.

Also: if Bush had done the opposite, you would be going even more apesh!t.
