Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement from the Supreme Court effective the end of July.
Already there is speculation that his replacement will give us a court more supportive of 2nd Amendment rights. That is probably right. To understand how New York representatives would react to a pending gun case that would significantly impact the state, look at how they prepared for the Janus decision which said public employees cannot be forced to pay union dues.
Public sector unions knew they would likely lose that case so earlier this year their allies in the legislature passed and Governor Cuomo signed a new law designed to blunt Janus’ impact. I would expect the same thing to happen when it appears another major SCOTUS ruling on gun rights is imminent.
You feel confident Jacob that he or she will be confirmed quickly and without much disruption. I am hopin this will be a good nail in the coffin for anti gun agenda if Trump chooses the right person.
I think it will be done by the fall.
The left is going apeshit so there will be disruption, but the names have been out there for awhile and I am sure the opposition research on each prospect has already been done. All that is left is the political theater.
