Based on what you posted she seems like she is subordinate to the legislature unless the constitution contradicts them. You cannot ask for more than that. Any more and she would be an activist.
That's what it looks to me from the information I had. California has no RKBA, so that answers that question, but I need to know how they argued against the AW ban there. If the challengers mentioned the 2nd amendment IN THEIR briefs, it can sway me against.
I need to look that up. I'll admit that I have a prejudice against Californias to start with on gun issues, so I need to be certain before I saw "This person deserves me support".
My first choice is either Robert Young, Stephen Markman, Cliff Taylor, or Maura Corrigan. Those four run Michigan's Supreme Court and are strict constitutionalists.
