Supreme Court barrier to Joe Biden’s gun grab
Washington Examiner ^ | April 9, 2021 | Nicholas Rowan

Posted on 04/09/2021 8:59:42 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

While President Joe Biden pushes for stricter gun control regulations, the Supreme Court is considering several Second Amendment cases with potentially major implications for gun ownership.

The case comes before the court as Biden ramps up the pressure for legislative action on gun rights. On Thursday, Biden signed a series of executive orders regulating firearms, and the White House signaled that his actions were “just the beginning” of a crusade against gun violence.

At the same time, the Supreme Court is weighing whether it will take up two cases that could clarify the limits of the Second Amendment. The first looks at the constitutionality of licenses to carry concealed handguns. The second examines the rights of convicted felons to own firearms. The court has both cases scheduled for its next Friday conference and could decide whether to hear them this month.

I’m not saying I disagree with you, but I want to test your commitment. For the purposes of this test, you can’t alter the hypothetical.

Let’s create Joe. Joe is a sociopath. He’s vile and evil. Think Stalin/Obama/Hillary all in one l. Joe is not a felon but he’s short tempered, violent and believes that killing 99% of humanity would be a good thing.

Joe works in his garage and due to blind luck stumbles upon anti-matter which will allow him to create a super weapon that will simultaneously protect him from all known weapons and will allow him to kill 99% of the rest of humanity with the push of a button.

Does the 2nd Amendment protect that weapon?

I’m going to use my Second Amendment rights to defend my Second Amendment rights. “Come and Take It”.

We already know the answer to both questions because we can read.

Do you understand that making the District of Columbia will permanently overbalance the Senate with adding at least two perpetually unchangeable Democratic Senators, and at least one Democratic Congresscritter? That and packing the Supreme Court will solidify the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial arms into one monolithic freedom-destroying government.

No statehood for D. D.! No expansion of the Supreme Court!

Author must be a cock-eyed optimist. SCOTUS isn’t going to protect bleep. They’re now but a barrier to justice“.

Exactly, it’s up to the states to shut the government down.

Except for two or three, SCOTUS judges cannot be trusted to follow the Constitution.

The Supreme Court made their branch of Gov’t (Judicial Branch) utterly irrelevant when they failed, twice, to look at voter fraud.

By failing to stand up, and even contemplate the scope of the fraud that was committed, across the nation, abetted with foreign and hostile nations, corrupted with corporate money - they made their branch utterly meaningless.

The DEMS know this, they planned this, and the video that goes along with he photograph of Justice Roberts on Epstein’s Peo-Island, ensures that the SCOTUS will be nothing more than a stacked DEM committee, to give the DEMS everything they want, to turn America into another Banana Republic.

We are already well on our way. America died Jan 20th.

He is. No changing the hypothetical. That’s the easy way out.

Only a repeal of the 2nd Amendment is the answer.
People aren’t going to comply.


I agree. But it is important to remember and constantly restate that the 2nd Amendment didn’t create the right to keep and bear arms—that right comes from God. The 2nd guarantees that the government shall not infringe on that God-given right. And yes, I realize that those thoughts are considered passé in today’s world.

Not hardly.

It goes to the concept of prior restraint and why in the US it is reviled. Just because Joe "might" be a sociopath does not mean his rights are preemptively infringed.

The Supreme Court is a separate and co-equal branch of the Federal Government. Biteme wants to change that into a rubber stamp.

For the purposes of the exercise Joe IS a sociopath.

Jen Psaki Admits Biden Gets Instructions from Obama: “we don’t read out those specific calls. We keep them private.”

April 8, 2021 | Sundance

Perhaps the most consistent question about the installed dementia patient occupying the oval office, is about who actually is planning the policy, scheduling the implementation and giving Biden his instructions after his breakfast pudding.   For those who have followed politics closely, the answer has always been obvious: Barack Obama and the Chicago crew.

JoeBama is not a meme, nor is it a snarky slap at the current White House occupant, it is a reality.

Barack Obama and his ideologues (who took over the DNC) are now completely in control over the leftist policy execution.   Obama with the help of his former administration crew, eliminated the remaining remnants of the Clinton machine, installed Tom Perez and then set about absorbing the AME church network…. that’s where James Clyburn came in, to endorse Biden as part of the final stages of the plan.

Today, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, the former spokesperson for Obama’s State Department, essentially admitted that Obama’s network was in charge, and Biden receives his instructions from the crew.  WATCH:

Jen Psaki: Pres. Biden and fmr. Pres. Obama "talk regularly about a range of issues

There is a history – a backstory – that only a handful of people genuinely understand. The answers boil down to the less discussed issue of ideological camps and the modern alignment that has taken place over the past decade. The most visible reference for the inflection point was the 2008 primary contest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Throughout the first decade of this millennium there was an ideological shift, an inflection point, that became ¹most clear in the rise of a little known state representative who was appointed to become a Senator from Illinois, his name was Barack Obama.  In the background of Obama’s rise were the people who designed the modern political left. Those Obama creationists were/are hardline revolutionary communist types.

This RevCom group was comprised of the more radical elements of the progressive movement; those who wanted to “fundamentally change” the United States, and who have a very patient and methodical plan to do so.

Those elements took control by convincing the far-left labor movement to abandon the traditional Democrat apparatus and support a more radical approach.  The SEIU, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, UAW, UFCW and others were leveraged to this position through promised financial benefit if they went along.

Those groups became the more powerful ammunition needed by the radical community activist teams, which were entirely on the side of Obama.  Hillary Clinton’s first run for the presidency was crushed under the weight of the leverage all of the radicals aligned on the Obama side.  Clinton was only left with the option to support the extremists in exchange for support in 2016.

However, the support she received was not full-throated.  The ideological hatred that was created during the earlier inflection point, when the camps were at war, left scars.  Those scars never healed; and, quite frankly the radicals were not going to support someone they just didn’t like.

Radical footsoldiers operate best on feelings and emotions. Clinton just didn’t do it for them…  One by one the traditional democrat left was wiped out by the more extreme radical leftists.  [Remember the destruction of the Bart Supak “blue dogs”?]

Fast forward to today, very recently, and what we are seeing is the outcome of the radical-left in complete control over the internal club systems and political party apparatus.  It took some time for this takeover to matriculate.

We are there now…. and into this far-left soup of radical elements the new left-wing media is mixed.  The media are now activists for the radicals.  This is why there is a more brutally obvious bias present today that was not present before.  The bias was always present, but the scale of the ideological nature of the bias was not always as visible.  Today the ideological support is crystal clear.

The issue for the Andrew Cuomo’s and Gavin Newsom’s of the world is inherently a matter of club selection.  Barack Obama, meaning the people behind the Obama system of radical elements, were the decision-makers in the 2020 Democrat primary race.  They will never give up that control now.

Team Obama selected Joe Biden specifically because he was controllable; extremely controllable and almost cognitively disconnected from any functional capabilities.  Team Obama also selected and installed Kamala Harris as the Vice President with the intent to use her as the substantive and moldable ally.

When Biden is removed, willingly or by political power, the radicals are planning to use Kamala to continue their “fundamental change” priorities.  Biden is being thrown upon the spears of those who want to defend against the attack of the radicals.

The extreme policies we are seeing come from the Biden administration are being assigned to him specifically because he is disposable.  The radicals do not care about public opinion of the policies or outcomes because they have Biden in place to absorb all the negative attachments.

Kamala Harris is the key to seeing the hidden hand of the Obama control agents at work.  Harris’s associations are Obama’s associations.  Harris’s crew is Obama’s crew.  Anyone who is not Harris; and who carries a perspective of potential political influence; is now a thorn in the agenda.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was rising in influence, as a result he needed to be eliminated in order to retain the exclusive position of Kamala Harris as heir to the radical agenda.

Watch over the next several weeks, months and years and you will see prominent Democrats left with a decision…. Support Harris (meaning those behind her) and the RevCom agenda, OR be targeted for removal by the new radical system that includes a willing media taking targeting orders from the club.

That is what is going on…

*****

[¹Any person who was 15 to 30 years old in 2007/2008 is lost to this level of manipulation.  They were the people who drank the Obama Kool-Aid and they became permanently infected.  Their sense of self, their matriculation, came into being during the Obama psychological war.  You will note they are currently, approximately, 28 to 40 years old (+/- a few years).   When you encounter a leftist person who appears to have totally lost their mind over the COVID stuff; and or they are going bat-shit crazy about the masks, in such a way they just cannot allow you to exist without their attempt to confront you; you will note the vast majority fit in this age group of 30 to 45.  There is no reasoning with those who defined their world views in the Obama era.  They are a lost generation; and, unfortunately, a few of them were breeders.]
