Too many
Yes things can change but I think were're in good shape.
I don't agree. McDonald v Chicago is in the books. It's been set as a ruling by the Supreme court and can't be just thrown out lightly by a later court.Fingers crossed...but does anyone see the problem, that one man in the right/wrong place can determine our Constitutional core, fundamental rights for the conceivable future? SCOTUS wasn't meant to have that much power originally. We have to hope for a single person to retire, one person, at the right time, to ensure our rights for...until two other people retire/die and an anti rights Admin is in power? How many SCOTUS decisions were overturned by later courts, and for something this contentious, it would be on the table.
I am hopeful for the future, but not for my son's future.
