2019: Trump was impeached for withholding Ukraine's aid for a political favor. 2026: Trump may have colluded with Russia to drop Ukraine’s air defenses, all to lower gas prices before a midterm. Both started with a phone call from Trump. Feels like Congress should investigate.

Today's Second Amendment decision has little to do with law and less to do with history (which Alito ignores or denies as needed to reach his conclusion). It's all about power—the supermajority shoving its preferred gun policy down our throats with brute force. Odious. slate.com/news-and-pol...
These unanswerable questions, like Wolford itself, show what a doomed endeavor Bruen has been from the start as an attempt to do law. Far from restraining judges, the decision gives them maximum latitude to cherry-pick history in service of their preferred outcome—which, for Republican appointees, is usually a ruling against gun safety. This approach to the Second Amendment is wildly inconsistent with state sovereignty and self-rule, allowing unelected judges to topple democratically enacted gun restrictions based on dilettantish historical divination. There is no law to be found in Wolford. It reads not like the work of a court, but of a super-legislature imposing its ideological hostility to firearm regulations on a citizenry that never consented.
