    "they are hewing to a kind of strict originalist understanding…"

    "strict originalist understanding"

    Sort of like some #US #Republicans and the US #Constitution

    All with the #OriginalIntent and all

    Until it no longer suits their agenda to care

    "...that expanded gun rights by finding the Second Amendment generally gives people the right to carry firearms."

    Amazing how the #SCOTUS continues to erase the predicate clause of the #SecondAmendment

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..."

    How many of these people are members of any "well regulated #Militia"?

    Remember #Originalism and #Textualism and #OriginalIntent all that?

    Utterly meaningless when it gets in the way of #MAGA #AmmoSexuals and their auto-erotic gun fantasies

  11. A quotation from Molly Ivins

    What’s really astounding about these brickheads who claim to be in touch with the original intent of the founders is (1) none of them seem to have read what the founders wrote, from Thomas Jefferson’s essays to Jamie Madison’s notes, and (2) you know damn well if they had been alive at the time of the American Revolution, they all would have been Tories.

    Just going to drop my pinned-post boilerplate from yesterday into this:

    The #SupremeCourt is working exactly as #LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety intended

    The mask is off

    All that #Textualism and #Originalism and high-minded-sounding #OriginalIntent schtick was a premeditated #Federalist / #GOP lie

    #SCOTUS is now situational, relative, and expedient in one direction only

    It's far right SCOTUS #ActivistJudges all the way down from here on out

  31. "Even as #DeSantis has earned the highest rating from the #NationalRifleAssociation’s political arm, #gun owners are balking at his recent appearances at events where #firearms were prohibited, according to interviews and online posts." -WaPo

    If #2A means we all have to put up with school shootings...

    ...but it *doesn't* mean DeSantis supporters get to bring guns to rallies...

    ...I'm thinking we've got a pretty goddamned flexible #secondamendment.

    What happened to #originalintent? 🙂
