"In politics, nothing happens by accident." - FDR

In my opinion, the Supreme Court decision yesterday on concealed carry, was no accident.

It was timed to counter the truth that is coming out about the Republicans and election lies by Donald Trump. Attempting to overthrow the government is a devastating story. As the facts come out, it becomes even more devastating.

Republicans need a diversion and the Supreme Court is more than willing to give them one.

The overturn of abortion laws is waiting for them. They will spring that on the American people when the Republican Party is in danger of total exposure.

SCOTUS will release the final abortion decision by June 30.

Along with the possibility that the DOJ may have another round of subpoenas they wish to serve?

Perhaps his most absolute wisdoms were buried in speeches and letters and memos because of the harried national events that occupied his time, and that he died without writing memoirs or giving interviews to historians. But FDR was the guy!

Everyone knew the gun decision was coming in June.
Does that mean the January 6 Commuittee is holding public hearings in June to divert from the gun decision?
