"...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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
