An interesting case that could have far-reaching implications in preventing cities and states from being able to restrict when an individual carries a firearm out in public.
The city of New York even tried to change the law before this case made it to the Supreme Court in an attempt to make the case moot. An objective set of justices won't be very sympathetic to such legal maneuverings to prevent their judicial review.
We already know the four liberal judges will be sympathetic the the mootness argument because it falls in line with the thinking of their political tribe.
The four conservative justices are eager to reaffirm 2nd Amendment rights that have been infringed these past few decades.
It all boils down to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Roberts always seems to find a way to agree with the liberal-leaning judges whenever the court is presented with a case that grabs a lot of headlines.
I truly don't understand why some on the left acted like the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh was going to be some world-ending event. We finally got the Supreme Court that had been advertised to us for years:
We have four liberal Justices.
We have four conservative Justices.
And we have a Swing Vote in John Roberts.
What say you War Room? How do you see this case going?
Unfortunately, I suspect John Roberts will utilize some form of mental gymnastics in order to side with the liberal-leaning justices, while attempting to maintain the veneer of impartiality.
