Gun Control & RKBA

So, because the court will now be tilted to the left, you think that all those pesky 2nd amendment decisions you don't like, or understand for that matter, will be shortly overturned?

Soooo if that's the way the court works, then why didn't that Conservative court overturn the ACA, Roe v Wade, Gay Marriage and all those other cases the right doesn't agree with when they had the chance and the majority?

Here's a hint ... because that's not the way SCOTUS works. It may be influenced politically, but the truly dim bulbs out there actually think of it as a purely political tool. It ain't.

Or are you all suggesting that Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayer, Kagan, Breyer et. al are nothing more than political hacks that should do your or any political types bidding?

First, they can only decide existing cases that; 1. reach SCOTUS from lower courts and represent a constitutional conflict among the appellate courts and 2. a majority of the judges have to agree to accept for consideration, e.g. grant Certorari.

Second the court is loathe to take a case that will overturn their own established precedent, e.g. Stare Decisis. The typical time for reversing a decision runs historically into the decades, not a few weeks or even years.

Third, the chances of any outspoken gun control type getting approved by the Senate ... are about zilch.

So all the grave dancing might be a little premature.
