“Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother’s sword has been sheathed in a brother’s breast and that the once-happy plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?” - George Washington, 1777

Six to three
Now that ACB is confirmed, there is a 6-3 majority of conservative justices in SCOTUS. What will that mean for gun rights? I am very encouraged at this point.
5-4.
ReplyDeleteRoberts is NOT an originalist or a Constitutionalist. He is an interpretist.
Yes, he is a tad more conservative than Kagan and Sotomeyer. But only.
The nice thing about ACB is she balances his floppy squishy self.
Well. Hopefully ACB will balance Roberts out.
I was going to mention that Chief Judas Roberts will make sure it's a 5-4 split, but I see someone else got there first.
ReplyDeleteHa! Everyone had the same thought about Roberts!
ReplyDeleteAnd beat me to it.
