Alito’s draft Roe<\/em> opinion has us marching, yelling, protesting. Yes.<\/p>\n

In the back of my rage against the SCOTUS machine, I had a nagging small thought. Yesterday, after the soul-shattering racist mass murder in Buffalo, the thought became larger. And today, the thought has exploded.<\/p>\n

Back in November, SCOTUS heard a case a couple of gun dudes brought against a gun club in New York.<\/a> SCOTUSBlog covered the oral argument and wrote:<\/p>\n

When Wednesday\u2019s oral argument in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen<\/a> drew to a close after roughly two hours of debate, it seemed likely that New York\u2019s 108-year-old handgun-licensing law is in jeopardy. But the justices\u2019 eventual ruling might be a narrow one focused on the New York law (and others like it), saving broader questions on the right to carry a gun outside the home for later.<\/em><\/p>\n

The law requires anyone who wants a license to carry a concealed handgun to show \u201cproper cause\u201d for the license. Courts in New York have defined \u201cproper cause\u201d to require applicants to show a special need to defend themselves, rather than simply wanting to protect themselves or their property.<\/em><\/p>\n

What will happen to his Supreme Court if — when — John Roberts can’t convince his religious pals that in this case, after what just happened in Buffalo, ignoring public sentiment, ignoring public opinion, ignoring the supreme rationality<\/em> of us the public about guns would be vile and stupid beyond redemption?<\/p>\n

I believe, as with Roe<\/em>, New York — as well as the other sane, smart states — will ignore and\/or bypass SCOTUS’s gun decision entirely and strengthen its own commitment to civil and human rights.<\/p>\n

If killing Roe<\/em> isn’t the death of the Supreme Court as it now stands, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association<\/em>, could be the coup de gr\u00e2ce.<\/em><\/p>\n
