With the election of Donald Trump and his potential appointments to the Supreme Court and lower appellate courts, gun rights supporters are overjoyed with the prospect that our rights will now be upheld, protected, and defended, at least at the federal level, for the next generation or so.
This is the part where I’m supposed to get excited that at least a simple majority of unaccountable government appointed lawyers may decide if I can keep my rights or liberties that have already been stripped by elected tyrants IF the right plaintiff with standing files suit against ONE out of the THOUSANDS of laws passed in states all over the country and federally, and ONLY IF those unaccountable government appointed lawyers even decide to hear the case at all, and then IF we can count on them actually ruling in the Constitution’s favor, Roberts.
Yay.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s better than having a majority of Bad Girl Ginsburgs, Wise Latina Sotomayors, and Cropped Haired Kagans as Hillary Clinton no doubt would have appointed, but how many times have we been down this road? We believe we have true Constitutionalists on the court, only to get them rewriting the law from the bench, doing legal and constitutional gymnastics to push through an unpopular or unconstitutional policy preference, Roberts.
