The window for gun rights to be won in court is closing. Democrats are trying to game the court because they are convinced the court is political. Of course it is, and everyone has known it for the past 100 years. That’s why there is such a fight every time a vacancy appears on the court. That’s why they are trying to do anything they can to make the court a permanent rubber stamp for their own agenda.
The Democrats had friends in justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Sandra Day O’Connor and Lewis F. Powell Jr., all Republican-appointed justices whose votes often swung to the left. Now the justices largely vote with the party of the President who nominated them. Thanks to some maneuvering by the Republicans and a bit of stupidity and vanity on the part of Democrats, the Republican party has a bit of an advantage on the court, something they hadn’t been able to say for decades.
- Antonin Scalia died under mysterious circumstances in 2016. Mitch McConnell managed to delay a vote on his replacement until after the 2016 election. Democrats, convinced that Hillary was a lock for the White House, went along with it. That put Neil Gorsuch on the bench and infuriated the left.
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, trying to hold on to staying in office forever, managed to die during the last year of Trump’s first term. Republicans, not being as dumb as they usually are, were smart enough to replace her with Amy Barret, who hasn’t really been a stalwart Republican vote.
Leftist professors argue “This is the first time where you have a court where the ideology really maps onto partisan affiliation,” which is patently and verifiably false. The courts were left leaning for decades before Trump managed to shift the court more to the right. Anyone who says differently is either foolish or lying. The court would regularly tie itself in knots to rubber stamp things like Obamacare and the NFA.
Make no mistake, the left is doing everything it can to seize control of the nation and take it down the path to communism.
