“…even a theoretical “post-packing” Leftist court is going to be hard-put to “explain” overturning Bruen.”

They respect jack-shit.

When they regain control of the court the first thing they will do is rule ‘Heller’ was wrongly decided, and once that happens every other pro-2A ruling will be easy to topple.

What we have to do in the meantime is sell the concept to the public that the 2A is critical to freedom. Fortunately for us, the major growing demographic is rapidly seeing things our way on a range of basic freedom issues. That’s what’s keeping Florida red instead of blue.

In 2 or 3 major elections, they will be demanding to seal the border against all those ‘racist’ MAGA-supporting Latinos… 😉

Geoff,

One thing people constantly elide over is that . . . SCOTUS normally passes on the VAST majority of cases submitted. In 2A cases, in particular, SCOTUS is reluctant to jump in. Fortunately, nowadays (with Saint Clarence on duty), they seem to wait for cases that feature (i) obviously bogus laws, and (ii) decent supporting facts (oh, and really idiotic lower court decision (i.e., from CA, HI, NY, NJ, 9th Circuit, 1st, 2nd, and DC circuits), or particularly GOOD lower court ruling, like Benitez). If you’re gonna push back on the hoplophobic fascists, it pays to get the record set up.

Not that any “liberal” justice cares a fig about the law or the Constitution, but even a theoretical “post-packing” Leftist court is going to be hard-put to “explain” overturning Bruen. Not that that will stop them, but it will be intellectually interesting to watch the contortions – Cirque du Soleil and Ringling Bros. have nothing on a Leftist ‘jurist’ committing legal sophistry!!
