Was hoping for Hardiman, but as long as Gorsuch defends 2A like the NRA believes he will (and doesn't become some sort of Fudd) and doesn't stab everyone in the back like CJ Roberts did on Obamacare, I am happy!

I don't like the qualifier "lightly", but better than we would have had last year. “the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own firearms and may not be infringed lightly.”

He should have replaced "lightly" with "ever"...

"and may not be infringed lightly."

We're effed.

"and may not be infringed lightly."

We're effed.

This is my fear.

 

[white feather]

Damn autocorrect... fixed it:

I was angry about what Roberts did as well, but now wonder if he was thinking several moves ahead, and actually did conservatives a favor. Would we now control both the executive and legislative branches if Roberts ruled against Obamacare?

We're effed.

Ya that part bothered me as well.... Anything less that Shall not be infringed means more tyranny to me and more perversion of the constitution.

I think you give him FAR to much credit.

Yup. The deep state has the dirt on Roberts imho.

That was Scalia's view as well, IIRC.
