Judging Amy

 I received an email asking me about the RKBA positions of the women candidates for the Supreme Court. Here's my response:

With Trump's announcement, Barett is the candidate, singular...

I touched on what had been the two frontrunners in my latest Firearms News piece:

Of the two, Barrett has been pilloried by the unctuously “progressive” Slate as having a “fundamentally cruel vision of the law,” warning readers “there is no doubt that Barrett would dramatically expand the Second Amendment, invalidating gun control measures around the country.”

That said, Slate would object to anyone not fully on board with the gun grab agenda. 

Here are the GOA and NRA assessments.

None of this means she will be strong on "shall not be infringed" for everything that comes her way or have the same level of determination and understanding as informed gun advocates, and you can't rise to that level in the courts without being committed to stare decisis precedents. I doubt if she'll be sympathetic to core purpose militia arguments and expect she will make some statements in confirmation hearings that many will object to. 

I've also got concerns about her predispositions on "immigration," considering the Catholic Church is big on "refugee resettlement," her personal stake in that with the adopted Haitian children, and the legislative and judicial impacts we know that has on RKBA.

Bottom line: I expect we'll find out the specifics on all of this after she's been seated.
