A gift from George W that keeps on giving. Kinda like herpes.

oldplayer :" “Roberts is a problem,” is right! You just cannot trust some of these black robed knuckleheads at all.
That Obamacare tax that wasn’t a tax travesty shines a spotlight on his empty soul."

Since the OBunger administration , and it's lock step DOJ and intelligence community were spying on the Trump pre-election,as well as post-election,
one has to wonder if they didn't also spy on selected members of the Supreme Court for the purpose of intimidation and coercion.
They weren't exactly known for following the law, much less Constitutional law, in regards to electronic surveillance of government officials.
There are certain issues in Robert's background that didn't see light until after his confirmation.

The thing I hate most about the FakeNews is that the cockroaches get away when the lights come on.

Let's shine some light on these vermin.

February 4, 2015:

cockroach Robert W. Sweet [Southern District of New York: D-PeanutBoy "judge"] was the scoffing POS that ruled against the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association in the first place.

Said cockroach met his maker in 2019, and is residing comfortably where he'll never get cold.

February 23, 2018:

3 more cockroaches from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals went through their lying gyrations and once again ruled 3-0 against the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.

cockroaches from the three-"judge" panel:

Gerard Lynch [twofer - ClownBammy and Rapin Bill "judge"]

Democrat politician [1986-88] Rosemary S. Pooler [Rapin Bill "judge"]

Susan L. Carney-"Barker" [ClownBammy "judge"] - confirmed 71-28, so she is probably a totally partisan Democrat POS. Married to "jernalist" Lincoln W. Caplan, II who wrote the hypocritical elite navel-gazing piece “Should Facebook and Twitter Be Regulated Under the First Amendment?”, about why President Trump can't block people on Twitter, but it's OK to censor opponents of the Left.

After the two kangaroo courts had their little red-rubber-nosed clown shows, New York had to scramble to to change their garbage anti-gun laws so as to moot the case before the Supremes got hold of it.

Justice Alito noted their antics in his dissenting opinion:

In the District Court and the Court of Appeals, the City vigorously and successfully defended the constitutionality of its ordinance, and the law was upheld based on what we are told is the framework for reviewing Second Amendment claims that has been uniformly adopted by the Courts of Appeals.

One might have thought that the City, having convinced the lower courts that its law was consistent with Heller, would have been willing to defend its victory in this Court.

But once we granted certiorari, both the City and the State of New York sprang into action to prevent us from deciding this case.

Although the City had previously insisted that its ordinance served important public safety purposes, our grant of review apparently led to an epiphany of sorts, and the City quickly changed its ordinance.

And for good measure the State enacted a law making the old New York City ordinance illegal.

Thereafter, the City and amici supporting its position strove to have this case thrown out without briefing or argument. The City moved for dismissal “as soon as is reasonably practicable” on the ground that it had “no legal reason to file a brief.”...

Just another day in the double-standard world of the Democrats and the Left.

Of course there must be *some* limits on the 2nd Amendment just as there are on the 1st.But today,depending on in what state/county/city you live,those limits can range from comparatively unobtrusive and reasonable (Texas,for example) to the despicable (New York City,for example).

SCOTUS needs to address this fundamental injustice.Just as the 1st and 5th Amendments mean the same *everywhere* in the country so should the 2nd.

Anyone who has a problem with the 1st Amendment has the right to work toward its repeal.Same goes for the 2nd.

[The Mayor]

I agree, we have been fighting this fascist pig since before he was elected.
We fight him every step of the way, rallies, protests, in his face confrontations.
He is so well protected when he comes here, he goes to UB and is in secured buildings.

We catch wind of him coming here and we are there in huge numbers.
He hates me, personally hates me. I have felt his wrath but fight back every time.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Looks like Kavanaugh is prepared to strengthen Heller.

[zeugma]

The court totally punted. It is disgraceful. The dissent totally eviscerates any claim of ‘mootness’. It is quite apparent that even the liberal hacks on the court were afraid of what a decision would be, and could not come up with even threadbare excuses to uphold the current law.

[The Mayor]

The crap we have to put up with in NY.
We have no voice but we try
