#StateCreatedDanger : In april 2025, #SCOTUS declined to hear a case filed by a pair of #whitesupremacits who felt cops violated their civil right by refusing to help them put on a rally in #Charlottesville in August of 2017. Their lawsuit was a joke, but unfortunately for everyone, the punchline is that pigs don't actually have to help anyone.

The New York Times"That judicial-centric vision of the future lasted all of 11 months. In a unanimous ruling last week, the Court signaled that judges must exercise 'substantial' deference to agencies, at least when it comes to use of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires agency reports on #environmental impacts for major #infrastructure and construction projects to inform approval decisions.

“ President Donald Trump has privately complained that the Supreme Court justices he appointed have not sufficiently stood behind his agenda, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations. But he has directed particular ire at Justice Amy Coney Barrett, his most recent appointee, one of the sources said.”

www.youtube.comThis is likely going to be one of those decisions that end up 5-4, possibly establishing, as this Court has wont to do, an arbitrary rule carved out of the Constitution's clear delineations of powers. Because something.

Today, #SCOTUS denied certiorari in Snope v Brown, 5 (+1) to 3, leaving in place Maryland's AR-15 ban in place. What's the +1? That's a Kavanaugh concurrence that was actually a statement against the AR-15 ban.
May these justices, who wanted to overturn the AR-15 ban, never have to live through the terror of seeing everyone around them, including loved ones, being gunned down by an automatic-enabled AR-15. But if they do, thoughts and prayers.
#2ndAmendment

“We decline to wield the #Constitution to declare that #military-style armaments, which have become primary instruments of #MassKilling & #terrorist attacks in the #UnitedStates, are beyond the reach of our nation’s democratic processes,” Judge Wilkinson added.
#law #SCOTUS #SecondAmendment #WMD #SemiautomaticRifles #AR15 #GunControl
The #law’s ban on what critics call #AssaultWeapons ban did not violate the #SecondAmendment because rapid-firing long guns “are #military-style weapons designed for sustained #combat operations that are ill-suited & disproportionate to the need for self-defense,” wrote Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.
That eventual case will require the court to apply its recently minted test for assessing constitutional challenges to #GunControl measures, that requires judges to strike down such laws unless they are “consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
In a 10-to-5 ruling in Aug, the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, in VA, said the Maryland #law satisfied that history-based test, which was set out in #SCOTUS 2022 ruling, NY State Rifle & Pistol Assn v. Bruen.
Justice Brett M. #Kavanaugh, who could have supplied the fourth vote needed to add the case to the court’s docket, issued a statement saying the question was significant & could soon warrant review but that he hoped additional opinions from lower courts could assist the justices on the issue. He wrote that #SCOTUS “should & presumably will address the #AR15 issue soon, in the next term or two.”
“I doubt we would sit idly by if lower courts were to so subvert our precedents involving any other constitutional right,” [ummm what?] he wrote. “Until we are vigilant in enforcing it, the right to bear arms will remain ‘a second-class right.’” [#hypocrisy]
Justices #Alito & #Gorsuch said they too would have heard the case but did not provide reasons.
“I would not wait to decide whether the government can ban the most popular rifle in America,” #ClarenceThomas wrote. “That question is of critical importance to tens of millions of law-abiding #AR15 owners throughout the country. We have avoided deciding it for a full decade.”
He added that the court’s commitment to the #SecondAmendment was inadequate.
