A gun rights group sued New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and other state officials on Saturday over an emergency order banning firearms from being carried in public in Albuquerque.
The National Association for Gun Rights, alongside Albuquerque resident Foster Haines, filed suit just one day after Grisham announced the public health order temporarily suspending concealed and open carry laws in the city.
The group argued that the order violates their Second Amendment rights, pointing to the Supreme Court’s decision last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
The answer to a captured court is not to stop making laws, it’s to ignore the court.
Like this?
Does Kim Davis make laws? She was a rando refusing to do her job. This is a political response to a political problem.
I swear you people will learned helplessness and high-road the republic away. When a Justice has demonstrated and unaddressed corruption and other justices are on the court due to a complete breakdown in democratic order, the answer isn’t “oh shucks, I guess they won that round”. The court’s currency of power is the people’s trust in it, and trust can be revoked.
This isn’t a problem that’s going to resolve itself by just dutifully marching along until the problem is corrected by 30 years of unbroken Democratic wins or the fantasy of a dozen good Republicans voting to remove. You can choose to live the rest of your life under unelected and corrupt rule makers for life, or you can recognize that the constitution was very specific about the limits of the Supreme Court’s power is and remind them that there ARE checks and balances to it. They’re certainly not going to change their stripes because you say “I respectfully disagree, but you make the rules”.
Where is the political response? Banning carrying guns in public in Albuquerque for 30 days? I got to say, I don’t think that is going to have much of an impact on the justices of the Supreme Court.
If you want to go storm the capitol like those January 6 losers, be my guest. Passing a bunch of laws and having them struck down by the Supreme Court for being unconstitutional is not making progress. It makes you look like child throwing a tantrum when they don’t get their way, and it makes you look stupid. It is something that Trump would do.
Like rigging the primaries to gift the Presidential nomination to Hillary? That sort of breakdown in the democratic process?
Like every fucking bureaucrat in the IRS, BATFE, EPA, FAA, NSA, CIA, FBI, NHTSA, FTC, SEC, FCC, DOD, DHS, et al.?
LOL, this is such a wild mishmash of personal political beliefs. You can’t possibly be a real person. “Respect the authority of the Court”, but also “the DNC rigged it”, and “the deep state is where the real corruption is”. Do better, pretend person.
Did I say something your script doesn’t cover?
