The real question is: Can any of them grow a pair by Friday. They have been pretty disappointing up to now.

[BajaJames83]

Maybe get nation wide clarification on carry as there all different

I can't disagree with that, except maybe Thomas.

Only three who seem to have balls are Thomas, Kagan and Sotomayor.

isn't alito also reliable?

[EQTrax]

"to discuss" really means they are going to do anything though? Could this just be another discussion where they decide to leave it to lower courts and they make zero rulings?

[cz74]

Only Thomas and Alito are real judges having any logical thought, the rest are snowflakes scared of court packing, but the commies gonna pack them anyway, Roberts is a sellout

When Supreme Court justices meet behind closed doors Friday, a conference that comes three days after the country’s latest mass shooting, they are scheduled to discuss whether to add a blockbuster issue to the docket for next term: the scope of the Second Amendment.

cue the leftist death threats, and *poof*

it goes away

Thomas has been the biggest 2A ally, but Alito has been very strong as well. He has been more dependable than the other "conservative" justices. The rest (Barret, Goresuch and Kavanaugh) appear to be right leaning establishment types more than truly conservative.

[riderr]

This ruling should be clear per their prior decisions.

CCW is not an assumed right to bear.
But that would mean open carry has to be.

One way or another, it may remove one of the cornerstone infringements CA put on 2A. Let's hope we'll get the best possible resolution. Also it could be a good sound spank for 9CA

.. also, the original article was published by CNN (re-posted by Fox) and it seems to be quite well-balanced, without any anti-gun rhetoric. How did it pass their censorship, I do not understand.

whether an individual has a right to bear arms for self-defense

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

Thread title is misleading. They didn't "take on a 2A case," they are debating "WHETHER to take on a 2A case."

As for labeling the three most recent justices as "iffy," you should look at Gorsuch joining Thomas in the written dissent of denying cert to a 2A case (pre-ACB), Kavanaugh's dissent on an AW case while he was on the D.C. court of appeals and ACB's history on 2A. Roberts might be playing the middle, but he is likely to join the majority if the majority (without him) decides to take the case and rules pro-2A. However, Roberts is now only determining whether it's a 6-3 or a 5-4 decision.

We might still not get this case accepted, but that would be based on other cases lining up, not the unwillingness of *this* court to tackle 2A. In the highly unlikely case that the court is overall still "political to the left" even after replacing RBG with ACB, then SCOTUS is really in the toilet. I would wait with this assessment for two reasons: (1) we don't know yet, and (2) evidence and plain common sense points to the exactly opposite conclusion.
