SCOTUS to Decide Whether to take Gun Case Dem Senators Threatened Them to Drop

US Supreme Court Building

The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association had their case against the City of New York accepted for Supreme Court Review. The City immediately realizing the Court might rule against them affecting laws nationally, changed their law. Too late?

A new day has dawned. Liberals are afraid of what might happen to their unconstitutional gun-grabbing if a challenge is heard at the Supreme Court. New York City has cried “Uncle” rather than risk a Heller-Type tidal wave of pro-gun goodness.

Democrat Senators realized the risk as well. They sent a love note to the US Supreme Court, making a case against a sitting. Then ended it with a threat.

The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it. Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be “restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.” Particularly on the urgent issue of gun control, a nation desperately needs it to heal.

The case for mootness is strong. Neither party has an interest that the court’s decision will resolve. The Chief Justice has already demonstrated that he will support mootness where the parties have resolved the matter. So, the thinking is that he would vote to drop it.

But what about the intimidating letter from those Democrat Senators?

Even the liberals on the court might find their intrusion offensive enough to vote to continue hearing this case. Which, in my opinion, would send a message from one branch to another about the use of intimidation in a form of government with separation of powers.

Yes, you might be able to change the shape of this court. But until then, we have a job to do, and we intend to do it.

I don’t believe that is how it will play out. The mootness “standard” appears to have far more precedent. And while this Court has shown signs that it is willing to break new ground, I’m not sure this is that case.

The Court will decide the matter on whether to proceed on December 2nd.
