How many replacements at the Supreme Court would we need....?
« on: February 26, 2018, 01:17:39 PM »
How many good replacements at the Supreme Court would we need to actually get them to rule in favor of the right to carry (CCW) arms and slap down state AW bans?

Right now I afraid the only one to do it would be Thomas.

Maybe optimistic, but I think two would do it. If the two being replaced are Kennedy and Bader-Ginsberg. Alito is (I think) basically on board, and the new guy certainly is. If Thomas, the new guy, and two more strict constructionists ganged up on him, I think Roberts might actually start voting like a Supreme Court justice.

4-5 ought to do it.

Replace just Kennedy or Ginsburg and I think that we'd get most of what we want.

^^^ Yeah, that.

Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch are reliable votes for our general preferences around here.  Roberts will only vote with the libs when it suits the puppet masters because of an otherwise close vote.  Get a solid conservative to replace RBG and either Kennedy or Roberts will then most likely vote with the conservative bloc. 

But replacing RBG and Kennedy with a solid conservative would be best.

I am disturbed that only Thomas signed the dissent to CA ten day wait.

Has any judge other than Thomas signed a dissent to the court refusing to take a carry case or AW ban?

Writing a Dissent to Deny Cert is very, very, very rare thing.  Like rarer then a unicorn rare.  He called out the others, something really not done.   Normally it's a one page "Cert is Denied" and that's it.   No reason, no explanation, no dissent.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

This does not give me a good feeling about it.
