It would be shocking that a conservative court is basically throwing out everything (except the voters check) -- except this is really not a conservative court. This is a radical court that is overthrowing the basics of centuries of law. Thanks for reading!

I cried reading Roberts’s opinion. If this was fact based and needed to return to the lower court, it should not be decided on the last day. UNCONSCIONABLE but not surprising for a Court off the rails. #polisky

Rahaimi is in. Nobody is surprised with the outcome -- but the mess of concurrences makes it clear that this Court does not understand the made-up approach: originalism. Not original. New. Radical. With the potential to destroy every tradition since 1868.

The front page of the @nytimes.com reports the RESCUE of two beluga whales from the violence of war in Ukraine AND the inability to move trucks with food to the people of Gaza. This is why I still get the paper -- to be disgusted by the stark imbalance of the world.

So, even within Christianity, the Ten Commandments aren't precisely the same across traditions — the text is translated and even *numbered* differently.
This law appears to mandate the KJV version — a Bible translation entire Christian traditions reject. apnews.com/article/loui...

Conservatives often counter that “no legislation > bad legislation” and there is some validity to that point. But it’s impossible to look at American society right now and conclude, “why isn’t the government doing less?!” The data is damning.

Every local race is different -- but some Democrats must be bolder about getting votes taken and focusing on those votes as dangerous for children, adults, etc. There are so many shootings that people are numb. How to remind people (in a non-exploitative manner)?

A charismatic politician has to decide gun violence is their #1 issue -- and there has to be a narrative. A small lobby has made ONE industry immune from responsibility. The public wants the regulations but this has never been a "one issue" for voters even after Sandy Hook.

The pro-gun lobby claimed "rights" and "liberty." Pro-safety is better than regulation but the effective language has yet to be used by any major politician. I think arms proliferation is excellent. But we need something easy to understand, Constitutional language if possible.

Alito and Thomas said bumpstocks should go to Congress -- but the ban can go to STATES and Congress. This Congress cannot pass anything (see below). In every state without a law, someone should be introducing a clear Bumpstock ban -- and force a vote/use language of gun safety.

Voters need it to be very concrete. Nixon signing Clear Air Act, EPA rule, courts overturn, and a consequence for the population? Voters don't like bumpstocks but most people imagine THEY are not directly affected by the violence.

I think about this a lot -- (1) is it possible to explain how Chevron would impact voters and (2) how can votes on bumpstocks happen (state AND national) happen now so that it can be a campaign issue at local, state, and national levels?

I'm reading the SCOTUS bumpstock decision and must admit that Alito's 2 paragraph concurrence is a relief. 😱 Thomas's opinion is a gun-fetish fever dream. But Alito sounds truly sad that people died in NE and seems to be pleading with Congress to change the law. Sotomayor's dissent spot on.
