SCOTUS takes on 2A case

[mshill]

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.

In before the rabbit

9th circuit En banc just ruled in hawaii v young right to keep and bear doesn't mean u get to bear.

Likely they will turn down this case and wait until young v hawaii gets to SCOTUS. One thing they love is kicking the can as far as possible

It really was a bad timing for 9CA to issue that decision. That really can trigger SCOTUS to cert.

"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?

This is correct. They are going to talk about whether they should hear it, they have not agreed to do so.

[Citadelgrad87]

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.

Agreed. I think Roberts will swing back to the right now that he is not the swing vote/peacemaker. I

Liberals are "feeling their oats." They're confident they have conservatives on the ropes, so they're not so concerned about "playing it safe."

Considering today's decision on Young and the language 9CA used, SCOTUS must spank them back.

Lets hope this going towards/ in favor the 2nd but it really is unknown....

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

Pro 2A 5 and Gun Control 4. With Amy Barret on board it shifts the balance in favor of 2A.
