In an interview Breyer stated
Quote:
[Breyer] said it was his position that the Founders were talking about a collective right, “which is not the right of an individual to keep a gun next to his bed.”
Yes, this wanna-be Constitutional "scholar" is pretending to be channeling James Madison despite Federalist 46 flatly contradicting him.
In any case, let this be another reminder that we have two sitting judges, Ginsburg and Breyer commenting now that Heller was wrongly decided and both stating that would change it if they could get another gun case before the court and if they had the majority. Ginsburg was more explicit about this when she thought that Hillary was going to win but don't mistake Breyer's obvious innuendo.
If Hillary had won it would have been the end of private gun ownership in America. Sotomayor voted against McDonald which was the attempt of the courts' libs to flip Heller or at least nerf it.
As it is Breyer is the 3rd oldest judge behind Ginsburg and Kennedy, so we will likely have to continue putting up with his assaults on civil rights for another few years.
Liberty hangs by a thread, and whatever your misgivings about Trump he saved us from disarmament. His first SCOTUS judge, Gorsuch, already attempted to overturn an AWB.
