re: #23 Nerdy Fish

You know that. I know that. Uncle Thomas sure as fuck knows that; after all, he wrote one of them. And John Roberts knows that, deep down; this opinion is an attempt to salvage something from the complete shitshow that was Heller and Bruen, the decisions at issue. He’s desperately trying not to end up in SCOTUS hell with Roger Taney, and failing miserably.

Imagine trying to teach constitutional law at a US law school these days. The prof has two options:

1) Lie through their teeth and claim the US has a coherent body of constitutional law with respect for precedent etc.

or

2) Admit that SCOTUS in general (and this SCOTUS in particular) does what it damn well pleases.
