I wonder how these justices would rule on The Declaration of Independence? Probably in favor of the Crown.https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/b...s-cert-in-all-pending-second-amendment-cases/
"Well, it has happened. Rather than the hoped-for clarification of the Second Amendment and the resolution of numerous Circuit Court splits, this morning the Supreme Court denied cert on all ten outstanding petitions in Second Amendment cases."
There's a lot of pressure on Roberts from the Left. They've got some serious shit on him, and are leaning heavily.
If he was an honorable man, he'd resign.*
Not many honorable men at that level of government, alas.
*John Profumo, in the UK, was caught in a honey trap back in the 1960s. He resigned, and it's worth noting what he did with his lfe afterwards. An impressive and honorable man.

John Roberts is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has struck again. His decision on Friday to side with the court’s four liberal justices in denying a petition in an important religious liberty case has further inflamed social conservatives already angry with his votes this term on abortion and LGBTQ rights. The decision is not only politically contentious, however; it is dangerously wrong.
"John Roberts strikes again. Conservatives should be furious."
More proof that John Roberts is a traitor and that the SCOTUS now has a liberal majority.
Have you been drinking with marko?
I drink alone.
Or sometimes with Raymond Shaw.

An interesting variation on the prisoner's dilemma?I don’t like Roberts vote. However, If the libs could count on him, they would have taken one of those cases and used the ruling to box in Heller.

Vice President Mike Pence is "totally right" in his criticism of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts as the court is once again a paramount issue for voters going to the polls in November, author and former Supreme Court clerk Carrie Severino told "Fox & Friends" Friday.
Pence tore into Roberts, calling him a "disappointment to conservatives," during a discussion with Christian broadcaster CBN News on Thursday. His comments came in the wake of several cases in which Roberts, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, sided with the court's liberals in majority opinions.
It has been more than a decade since this Court’s decisions in McDonald v. Chicago, supra, and District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570 (2008). In the years since those decisions, lower courts have struggled to determine the proper approach for analyzing Second Amendment challenges.
Although our decision in Heller did not provide a precise standard for evaluating all Second Amendment claims, it did provide a general framework to guide lower courts. In Heller, we recognized that “the Second Amendment . . . codified a pre-existing right.” Id., at 592. This right was “enshrined with the scope [it was] understood to have when the people adopted” it. Id., at 634. To determine that scope, we analyzed the original meaning of the Second Amendment’s text as well as the historical understanding of the right. We noted that “limitation” on the right may be supported by “historical tradition,”but we declined to “undertake an exhaustive historical analysis . . . of the full scope of the Second Amendment.” Id., at 626–627. Instead, we indicated that courts could conduct historical analyses for restrictions in the future as challenges arose. Id., at 635.
