"...bias of the court..."?
.
As long as the court is biased towards the Constitution's clear and plain language over the convoluted and restricted (infringing) language of Congress, States, Cities, and other such law-writing bodies, isn't that a good thing?
After all, isn't the Constitution supposed to be the supreme law of the land? |

“The point of our brief is that it’s bringing home the real-world impact of gun violence on the young people whose stories we’re telling,” said Ira Feinberg, a partner at the firm, “and that’s a perspective that we wanted to make sure the court has.”
Feinbert et al are arguing for a political decision. Their problem is that this is a constitutional question, not a political one.
It is not within the purview of the SCOTUS to rule on political questions, only on matters of law and the Constitution. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
