Samuel Alito lashes out at liberals in guns case as tensions boil over at SCOTUS

By Ariane de Vogue, 23, 2022 

While Justice Clarence Thomas spent 63 pages in a 6-3 majority opinion Thursday painstakingly explaining the court’s reasons for striking down a New York conceal carry gun law and changing the way judges will analyze a host of other gun regulations going forward, his colleague Samuel Alito took a different tack. 

In a sparse but relentlessly caustic concurring opinion, the conservative Alito criticized his liberal colleagues for their dissent, blasting them for attempting to “obscure” the specific question the court had decided, and for referencing the recent mass shootings that have shocked the nation. 

The fact that Alito, who joined Thomas’ opinion in full, chose to also strike out alone against the dissenters highlights the current tension on the court triggered by a blockbuster docket and the unprecedented leak of a draft majority opinion in May overturning Roe v. Wade.

A Great Day for the Second Amendment Was Ruined By Backstabbing Republicans - Matt Vespa Jun 24, 2022 - The Left was in an uproar yesterday. The Supreme Court handed down their opinion in the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen case which struck down the justifiable need clause in the Empire State’s carry law as unconstitutional. It also affirmed that we do have the legal right to carry firearms outside the home in public for self-defense. One of the last battles in the fight to maintain our gun rights has been decided and we won. Essentially, every state will be forced to adopt ‘shall issue’ carry laws.
