They only took this case because they can make a very narrow ruling that applies nowhere else.
Other cases with wider implications were denied cert.
That’s ok, I don’t want THIS SC to take up wide ranging 2A case. We need another Justice. We do not have a conservative court. We 4 hard core libs, 3 conservatives and 2 swing votes.
Zero confidence that Judge Roberts takes the originalist position. The only one I trust on that would be Judge Thomas.
“They only took this case because they can make a very narrow ruling that applies nowhere else.”
I had the same reaction. But in that case, why are they bothering?
