[T]wo of the court’s three liberal justices still want a course correction on how the court evaluates gun regulations.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the “historical tradition” test for gun rules that the court created in its landmark 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen is “unworkable.”
Rather than evaluating whether a gun rule is a justifiable way of addressing a modern problem, judges must sift through centuries-old evidence to find a previous law that’s roughly equivalent, she wrote in a concurring opinion joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
For example, in the case decided June 18, Justice Neil Gorsuch cited the drinking habits of the founding fathers as evidence that historical laws restricting the rights of habitual drinkers were not a good match for a modern law that makes it a crime for a regular marijuana user to have a gun.
Evidently Justice Brown is incapable of reading our founders words to understand their intent. I’m not a lawyer by any means, but Bruen speaks to the founder’s intent as well as providing a guide to future 2A cases. Maybe Brown should open a book.
“…sift through centuries-old evidence to find a previous law that’s roughly equivalent.”
That’s not true, its what they try to claim though.
Its sort of like the democrats false complaint ‘black people and women can’t get ID’s so will not be able to vote’.
These ‘centuries-old evidence’ laws are already known and available. Its not like they have to be ‘discovered’ or sifted through to be found, they are already known. All ‘jurisprudence’ has these laws at their very foundation, laws that started out centuries ago and evolved over time to either be good law or bad law or laws kept or laws thrown out or the laws evolved based upon application and decisions by courts. Just like the requirement for ID to vote is already built upon ‘centuries-old evidence’ that people had to prove who they were for certain things (even in ancient civilizations people had to prove who they were for certain things, for example, a Roman citizen in ancient Rome was required to present evidence of being a Roman citizen in certain Roman law legal or administrative contexts or in some cases when challenged had to prove they were a Roman citizen) and our society is in part built upon that, one of these being ‘citizenship’ proof and such ‘citizenship proof’ capability has been available to women and black people for literally centuries via various methods just as ID is available to black people and women today.
Its a matter of determining if those ‘centuries-old evidence’ laws are analogous to what is being decided in context with what the founders intended when they wrote the Constitution.
What the liberals want to do is create new law that favors them so they can control or do away with Constitutional rights.
Constitutional rights and the laws and court decisions upholding and enforcing and protecting them are not “a modern problem” like the liberals view them. They are literally ‘centuries-old evidence’ of the liberty and freedom the country founders intended, and its the job of SCOTUS, and every justice at SCOTUS, established based upon and functioning upon the text and history and tradition of that intended liberty and freedom and Constitution, to uphold and defend and protect those rights just like the country founders intended SCOTUS do. The liberals do not like that.
So, making the government (including states government) adhere to what the Constitution intended for constitutional rights demands an examination based upon ‘text, history, and tradition’ and not some made up ‘means-end scrutiny’ test the liberals want applied to constitutional rights that gives government what they want over 90% of the time because the government is not suppose to get what they want when it comes to constitutional rights of the people and the constitution even makes that clear by limiting government by explicitly listing protected freedoms in the Bill of Rights.
Thank you you the libertarians who supported this ticking time bomb. She will have a life time of chances to destroy the Bill of Rights. All because the Libertarians believe it was time we had a “black woman” on the supreme court.
Historical, the white Democrats will always find some black person to say publicly, that black people were comfortable, with the way things were. They didn’t need to have “outsiders”, to come in to try to improve their lives. By giving them gun rights for example.
Only now, in the 21st century, this is how the white libertarians think.
I don’t trust the libertarians.
This is what happens when you have republicans, who will only talk about making weed legal.
“Cato scholars are not the only libertarians who have kind words for Judge Jackson. Former representative Amash, a Michigan Republican who left the party during Trump’s presidency as it moved in an increasingly lawless and authoritarian direction, said
this week, “Happy to see President Biden nominate someone to the Supreme Court who holds more than a few truly liberal views.”
