Well, well, well. The Supremes Just woke up NJ -High Court Considers Taking ANJRPC Appeal
February 19, 2019. Today, the U.S. Supreme Court required the State of New Jersey to file a brief in response to ANJRPC's petition asking the High Court to hear its challenge to NJ's carry laws. Under the Supreme Court’s order, the State of New Jersey is required to file papers by March 21, arguing why the High Court should not agree to hear ANJRPC's appeal. NJ had previously ignored the appeal. https://www.anjrpc.org/page/SupremeCtRequiresNJFileResponseinCarryAppeal

If SCOTUS decides to hear the case I honestly believe NJ's "justifiable need" will go down in flames.   There is no way the court can cite this kind of restriction based on constitutional law.  Its a pure fabrication and should be ruled as such.  We shall see...

we're screwed

We’ll have to see.  if they do their job all NJ 2A cases should be a slam dunk for reversal but if Roberts goes the way of an Obama appointee & activist then that could be a problem.  But again, if they do their jobs its a good case and 2A should prevail. Either way I’m thankful for the efforts of ANJRPC and Mr C from GFH to come this far.

I'll be really surprised if anything positive comes of this in the SC. Any case that's 2A related is a EXTREME hot potato in the country today. I think the last thing the judges want is HALF the electorate pissed off at them, and will probably just punt on arguing these cases.

All you need to do is remember how a certain segment of the population tried to DESTROY Kavanaugh's life. Why would any other judge want to risk their personal lives like that by stepping into a BIG hornets nest of a 2A case?

for starters it’s their job. If they want to be activist let them get jobs in the murphy administration, the pay is good and no heavy lifting

I dunno.

Once they're in, they're in for life.  They can give zero fucks about what anyone thinks.

So, that's why they argued every 2A case that came across the bench the last decade or so, right?

oh, wait...

Supreme Court agrees to hear gun rights case after nearly a decade of inaction on Second Amendment

Are you really so daft as to not know that neither side wanted these cases brought up until one side was assured it would go their way?

That's the whole point, they play politics MORE than play Constitution.

Thanks for proving my point.   Duh......

That's not necessarily playing politics.  It's making a pragmatic decision, which is often the exact opposite of playing politics.  What is with you always thinking some random comment "proves" your point?

Since I know you are going to ask, I will provide an example of "playing" politics.  Chuckie Schumer's complete reversal on border security now that Trump is in power is a most blatant example.

It's not? Then it should be cut and dry, following existing laws and the Constitution. Why haven't they?

In the last ten years, the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to grant review in at least 88 Second Amendment cases where lower courts upheld gun safety laws. By repeatedly declining to review lower court decisions that upheld federal, state, and local gun laws, the Supreme Court has reconfirmed that the Amendment is not an obstacle to the laws that keep our communities safe from gun violence.

Since 2008, there have been over 1,310 Second Amendment cases challenging gun laws nationwide, with an overwhelming majority—nearly 93%—of the lower court decisions upholding those laws.

Many of these Second Amendment challenges to gun laws make their way to the Supreme Court.  However, the Court has refused to hear these cases,1 leaving lower court decisions upholding the laws intact and keeping strong gun laws on the books.

Think any of those lower court rulings had any political bias attached to them?

I already answered why they haven't.  And I never said they didn't have political bias.  That is not the same as "playing politics". 

Maybe a definition is needed here.
