8-1 with Thomas the dissent.
“The court and government do not point to a single historical law revoking a citizen’s Second Amendment right based on possible interpersonal violence,” Thomas wrote. “Yet, in the interest of ensuring the Government can regulate one subset of society, today’s decision puts at risk the Second Amendment rights of many more.”
So how’s that going to affect all the police that commit DV all the time?
Depends on if they get convicted or not.
I’m surprised Alito went with the majority on this one. And a little surprised Kavanaugh did too. I’m also surprised it was an 8-1 ruling.
I’m not at all surprised Thomas was in the minority.
Thomas, as per usual, is on the wrong side of history. You can almost 100% pick the correct verdict by choosing the opposite of his vote with a very limited number of exceptions. If these were Vegas odds, you’d get rich betting against him with almost no downside.
If that was the case betting against him would give very little return as it’d be seen as a sure thing.
Woah! They’re disarming the police???
What are the odds that the presidential immunity case will be decided after the first debate?
Don’t celebrate just yet. All repubes will have to do is change the definition of domestic abuser so the law will become toothless
Shouldn’t take much effort. Domestic abuse is surprisingly easy to get away with.
Just ask the police.
