The world as we know it is changing:
Once Trump’s latest picks to the 9th Circuit, including Ken Lee and Dan Collins, are confirmed as expected and remaining vacancies are filled, 13 of the 29 active seats on the key appellate court will be filled with judges picked by Republican presidents. At this time last year, 16 judges on the 9th Circuit were appointed by Democrats, with only six chosen by Republicans.
And the democrats know it. From the same article:
… has led to repeated howls of protest from California’s two Democratic senators, Kamala Harris and Judiciary Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein.
Combined with the changing character of the Supreme Court we have a decent chance of reversing some of the most oppressive gun control laws. We still need to vote against the politicians and fund the lawsuits (I’m donations thousands of dollars a year to SAF and FPC which is matched dollar for dollar by my employer). But the bottom line is we have a path to victory. It’s not certain, but it certainly looks possible, and it’s a lot better option than voting from the rooftops.
The path to victory goes only through the reelection of President Trump and retention of the Senate. It would be nice to have the house, I would certainly prefer that; but a choice between the two must be the Senate.
We must retain the presidency.
So effin what. The GOP put Roberts on the bench of the SCOTUS….and what did that get us? He was part of the cabal just that denied a request to stay Trump’s
bumpstock ban. Trump talks big but his actions have proven he is NOT a friend of the Second Amendment…..and I doubt most of the judges he has put on the bench are any better.
