A US Supreme Court with the blood of children on

their hands once again. All because they worship the money of the NRA and their positions more than they do the lives of children. Some might think that a harsh condemnation. The facts are what they are and those facts are that for all of the Articles in the Constitution and all of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights they can find "exceptions", "gray areas", "reasonable restraints", etc. etc. and the list goes on. Even if they have to fantasize themselves back in the Middle Ages in England.

Except for one Amendment. That one Amendment is more sacred to them than the lives of children. For that one Amendment they have no "exceptions" or "areas of interpretation" and for that one Amendment only they consistently declare there can be no "reasonable restraints".

So this is the nation that allows a free for all of gun acquisition while at the same time claiming to the rest of the world how the US is the greatest nation in the world and treats it's people better than anybody else. But isn't it odd how they claim the Constitution isn't a suicide pact and yet their worship of that one Amendment and holding it sacrosanct is killing us over and over in bunches at a time?

The worst part about the GQP rigged justices is they know what they've done. They know they could have slowed the explosion of gun possession. They not only don't genuinely care but they make excuses for themselves and push it off on others. They don't have the boldness of thought like the Warren Court etc. did. If Miranda, for example, had never happened and it came to this court today there is no doubt that the rights claimed would be tossed aside. They would throw it aside because the rights claimed protect the average American. The GQP justices are about protecting the wealthy and powerful and after all the mass shooters are shooting up average people. Their tears, hearts and minds are not for the average people. They love and think constantly about themselves and their benefactors and issue cries and tears from the bench at anything that impedes the wealthy or holds them accountable.

While children are buried. While the tired excuses are made.

Excellent summation.

You're right - it's not their class or their children that are being targeted and killed. They have managed to weaponize the rank and file mentally ill and just plain execrable human beings to produce chaos from which they benefit. It's that simple and that morally reprehensible.

More Americans need to understand how the upper class views them; as a nuisance, as a burden, as prey, as cows to be milked - then sent to a slaughter house and turned into dog food.

I will also add: Justice Jackson seems to be the only liberal leaning member who puts truth first rather than concern about the
"comity" of this wretched excuse for a court. She appears to see clearly these motherfuckers for what they are.
