BREAKING: In a rare moment of blessed sanity, the U.S. Supreme Court declines a desperate right-wing request to block the assault weapons ban that was recently passed in Illinois.
Unfortunately, the decision does not guarantee that the ban will remain in place long-term, rather it indicates that the court has no desire to wade into such a high-profile Second Amendment case right now.
The block request came from gun nuts who wanted the new law to be put on hold while the appeals process plays out in the lower courts — a process that could ultimately lead to the ban being overturned.
Once again, we see that Republicans only care about "states' rights" when it suits their agenda. Illinois has a right to ban weapons of war but the GOP simply can't stomach that. Their NRA donors won't allow it.
Retweet to urge the courts to uphold Illinois's assault weapons ban. Nobody needs an AR-15!
@seanspicer#FAKENEWS. Once again #fakenewsnetwork doing Putin’s work attempting to destroy democracy. How do you sleep at night. You are pathetic and a poor excuse for an American
@realJeffreyLord You are a sad impotent child thus the only reason you engage in such childish dribble. Time to crawl back under the bridge from whence you came #GOPSeditiousTraitors
.@brikeilarcnn rolls the tape on GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham and his metamorphosis into former Pres. Trump’s sidekick.
“He puts all hope in the guy who helped Republicans lose the White House, lose the Senate, failed to retake the House, who was impeached twice by the House.”
