    So two (for majority) or six (full court) said partial Trump?


    *Never go "full Trump".

      It was per curium so all of them at least agreed in part.

      The other three went full trump.

          I decided to take park of my lunch to read through a number of most recent decisions. It's going to get very annoying if Thomas and Gorsuch hold each other's hands and fear the boogeymen in the closet in every opinion.

          And his writing style is not fun to read. I don't think I've read an opinion of his yet where half the content is, "I'm just asking a question here..."

              This was kind of a big case denied cert.

              http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-n...626-story.html

              The Supreme Court has rejected a major 2nd Amendment challenge to California’s strict limits on carrying concealed guns in public.

              The justices turned away an appeal from gun rights advocates who contended most law-abiding gun owners in San Diego, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area are being wrongly denied permits to carry a weapon when they leave home.

              The justices let stand a ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which held last year that the “2nd Amendment does not preserve or protect a right of a member of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public.”

              In dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas said the court's action "reflects a distressing trend" in the treatment of the 2nd Amendment as a disfavored right. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch joined his dissent.

                All the righties said we were wrong when we said Gorsuch was another Thomas and not even a Scalia replacement. And we were right. The Courts balance has changed.

                  No it hasn't. Kennedy was and remains the swing justice. The balance switches with whoever provides the 5th vote.

                    Uh, huh. You go ahead and believe that. My point is at least Scalia cared about the Constitution. Thomas never has and Gorsuch never will.

                      Not finding a lot of "just asking questions" in this part from his writing on the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act:

                      “While it is of course our job to apply faithfully the law Congress has written, it is never our job to rewrite a constitutionally valid statutory text under the banner of speculation about what Congress might have done had it faced the question that, on everyone’s account, it never faced,” he wrote.

                      “The proper role of the judiciary,” he concluded, is “to apply, not amend, the work of the People’s representatives.”
                      http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-n...612-story.html

                      That screams strict constructionist. Heavens. Did a President actually get one "as advertised". Wait. It's once. He'll come out with his "whathe" moment soon enough.

                        We'll see how strict of a constructionist he is when the first 14th amendment case rolls around under his watch. Scalia had no problem ignoring that one.

                            Scalia cared about being thought of as caring about the Constitution. When he wanted to he could pull a new right out of his as-s same as any liberal. "Originalism" has been malarkey from the days of that old political hack Bork. It means "no new rights unless I say so." And then it goes on to bestow every right possible to business and even money itself, while going back to a Lockner's view of the Poors.

                            No thanks to that old hypocritical rubbish.
