The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide if the federal government may bar certain drug users from owning guns or if the law violates the Second Amendment, taking up a second significant guns case of its current term.
The appeal represents a rare circumstance in which the Trump administration is defending a gun prohibition, which it described in briefing at the Supreme Court as a “narrow” limitation on one of “Americans’ most cherished freedoms.”

Supreme Court lets Lisa Cook stay at Fed Reserve for now; will hear arguments in January

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court put off deciding whether President Donald Trump can fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve board, leaving in place for now the central bank's longstanding independence.
The court on Oct. 1 said it will hear oral arugments on the issue in January.

WASHINGTON − The Supreme Court on June 2 preserved Maryland’s ban on #assault-style weapons and Rhode Island's ban on high-capacity magazines, declining for now to decide if they meet the high court’s controversial bar for #gun restrictions.
While that's a victory for gun control advocates − and it came over the objections of several conservative justices − the issue could come back to the high court.

The 10,000,000 people you mentioned gave them the same majority in the Senate that they have in the House. I just keep seeing people pin their hopes on The #SCROTUS, or the lower courts, or the Governors, or the Senate, or Jesus, or whatever. Call it cynical if you must, but I've watched us lose everything since November. I agree that we did this to ourselves, but we can't just sit around and wait for some "savior" to bail us out.

And I always use that disclaimer to save me from ICE. For what little good it will do. I'm a "Radical Left Libtard." We're next.

Damn He and MAGA to perdition. And special ill will for the ridiculous #SCROTUS decision. America this is not.

The Supreme Court will let the Trump administration strip temporary legal protections from thousands of #Venezuelans living in the U.S., in a win for its mass #deportation efforts. 
The court’s order on Monday sets aside a lower-court ruling that had blocked the Department of Homeland Security from removing those protections while litigation proceeds.

Vegas odds are 30 to 1 that the useless fuckin' #SCROTUS will hand #KingShart another win, overturning a basic right for the past 165 years. Kinda like the "Trump Immunity" case, and my favorite, the "Democrats-Can't-Take-Bribes-But-Republicans-Can-Accept-Tips" case. The blatant partisanship and hypocrisy of that will live on past us all.

Well, the useless fuckin' #SCROTUS knuckled under to the pus-bag they gave immunity to, yet again. This time it's about Transgender military. I don't know the legal details---AND I DON'T WANT TO, MSNBC. All I need to know is that once again, Lady Liberty sits in her cell at Alcatraz and weeps.
