    Four on the typical Democrat side.

    Four supposedly on the Constitutional side.

    …..and then there’s SCOTUS Chief Justice Tax/Fee Fee/Tax Roberts.

    1. 2

      Yup. Justice Roberts is the “tax fee” gift from President GW Bush that keeps on giving. Also look at his vote in the census citizenship case and his vote against the president on procedural grounds on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) case.

      David Kopel and Randy Barnett are smart and well-informed and correct on the constitutional issues. But, sadly, the constitutional issues do not matter. We are living in a post-constitutional republic, or something close to one, where the left views the judiciary as a means to accomplish its political goals.

      The goal is to ban guns or at least pull off an Australia-style confiscation. David Kopel and Randy Barnett both understand this. Their goal is probably to shame the swing justice (there is always a swing justice, by definition) into not siding with the anti-constitutionalists.

      1. 1

        “The goal is to ban guns or at least pull off an Australia-style confiscation.”

        The typical Democrat’s goal is to completely control all aspects of everyone’s life (except for their own kind - the true believers, of course). It all starts, like Mr. Marx and later on, Mr. Alinsky offered, disarm citizens and restrict their speech, control their education, etc. Do it all legally - nudge it all in place.

        Bank on the typical Democrats currently salivating at the idea of having POTUS and V-POTUS disappear in any manner necessary, instantly making Ms. Pelosi POTUS and then all bets are off on what happens minute one after that.

        The closer we get to November 2020, the crazier and more dangerous they’re gonna become.
