Tell me again how much the Heller decision was so flipping wonderful. SCOTUS declines to take Drake challenge to New Jersey CCW law.

The U.S. Supreme Court this morning denied certiorari in a case challenging the arbitrary nature of New Jersey’s concealed carry permitting scheme, leaving gun rights activists fuming and convinced the high court is afraid to address the issue of carrying firearms outside the home for personal protection.

Anyone in this country that thinks the scotus is the 3rd branch of gov't. is foolish. Besides, we don't need a bunch of judges telling us what they think our rights are under the constitution are. most people can read and understand all of those words and know what they mean!

The Supreme Court is packed with lazy scum. My understanding is that they only hear about 2% of the cases submitted before them. Over worked? Doesn't sound like it to me. Anyway, I'll never trust them to do "right" again.

I don't pay any attention to court opinions concerning any right. A right cannot be voted one even by judges.

To be honest I'd rather have the Court continue to refuse to take 2nd Amendment cases than have to suffer another Roberts sellout.

Today, SCOTUS did two things:
(1) They decided that prior SCOTUS decisions (Heller) can be ignored by the states without challenge.
(2) They confirmed that enumerated rights can be denied as long as the government think doing so is in the best interest of the people...or in its own best interest.

I suspect that the court knows what the 2nd means but they wish it meant something else.

I have said it before and say it again.

The Supreme Courts is NOT,

It is an oxymoron and no longer deserves the RIGHT TO EXIST.

LET ALONE MAKE JUDICIAL DECISIONS ON TREASON.

I don't know why the Court declined to hear this case. It seems to me that the decision in McDonald v. Chicago was pretty clear, that the right to keep and bear arms was incorporated in the 14th Amendment.

The 3rd Circuit Court and the 7th Circuit Court are now split on this. Given that, it's a mystery why the Court wouldn't hear it.

They're not afraid. They were either blackmailed or paid off. It's one or the other.

When you have a lawless president and a lawless congress it makes little difference what a less than Supreme Court rules on . The term WOROL ( Without rule of law) most aptly applies to this time period . Times have changed and we must change also.

Probably decided to wait for Peruta out of the 9th circuit.

That will almost certainly get to the SC.

The law skrools these jokers come from and all those in the criminal injustice industrial complex come from practice case/"constitutional" law and never base a judgment on the US Constitution or State Constitutions respectively. I work with a good many folks in the "political" realm. Many believe that it can be fixed if we just talk some more. Others know and believe as I do. The Republic has been gone for a long time. It will NEVER be what any of us were ever lead to believe what it "was."

What do y'all really think is the purpose of the NSA recording every phone call and every email?

What sort of print-outs do you think they slung onto the table in front of Johnny Roberts before the ObamaCare ruling?

I never imagined I would see the day when people who were elected or paid to do a job could simply refuse to do their job and get away with it! It is utterly astonishing! The idea that anybody can simply decide not to do their duty and expect to stay employed is anathema to me - but it is happening EVERYWHERE. Cops, judges, congressman, representatives, corporations, employees, neighbors, etc.. It's everywhere. The fact that it is happening and that people are comfortable doing this is bad enough. The REAL death rattle is that observers are used to it and do not counteract it. That is where the problem lies. The SCOTUS should be facing whatever penalty it is that is appropriate for utterly refusing to do what they were appointed and are paid to do! They should be scared shitless to behave in this manner - yet they are rather casual about it! THIS is why America is DOOMED. The fact that we allow this crap seals our fate. God, please help us. Please God, help us.

Good god! You guys are sounding like a bunch of whining morons. Did you not pay attention to what they said while refusing the case?

Its because the person/persons who brought the case forward had abused the court with cases having no merit outside of this case.

This is what happens when you use shifty lawyers who take your case with zero hesitation. The lawyer on the back of the flyer is NOT THE ONE TO USE!!!

So the message is kiddies don't use a shitty lawyer to represent you in front of the Supreme Court.

Remember folks, gubmint wants to keep this in the due process arena. SCOTUS will reject all that threaten to put it in the RIGHTS category. The NRA is actively working to oblige this path. Watch what's coming in Illinois. You cannot forget that KEEPING CONTROL is the goal and gubmint and the NRA are working together to contrive exactly that.

I predict that due process claims about denials won't be heard for another two years or so and the case heard will be Illinois. SCOTUS wants to do this via a "shall issue" state to CEMENT the permit process itself. It will reject all cases that call the permit process itself into question.

We are being HAD- again.

And another moron strikes. The court is NOT REQUIRED to hear their case.

Their job is NOT whatever some anonymous internet poster says it is.

The Name of the Lawyer is ON THE PAPER WORK..

So barring the complete inability to read the Court knows exactly who the Lawyer is.

This is the 2nd time this year halfwit lawyers have cost pro gunners a supreme court case.

Just because you do not pay attention to what is going on does not make it any less applicable. Scotus is not going to change just for you.

If you cannot accept that you are a liability to pro gunners everywhere.

I stated my opinion about the court, not really expecting them to change. You're comments above haven't changed my opinion of the court, or of you. As far as being a liability to gun owners its pretty clear where you stand on that subject also.
