The USSC issued a stay on the "ghost gun" injunction out of Texas. It is essentially the law of the land now. Thanks Roberts and Barrett

You are correct. The stay is just to keep things as they are while the case proceeds. Judge O'Connor entered an injunction against application of the law while the case proceeds to a final judgment on the merits. The Supreme Court is just saying, no, the regulation will stay in effect while the case proceeds.Is Scrotus not going to hear the case?
I thought a stay was only to let the lower court ruling stand until heard?
Thanks Roberts and Barrett
New this was going to happen 6 months ago, they are conservative constitutionalists in name only
Are you really surprised an anti-gun president nominated an anti-gun justice?
Doc,I really wish we had real education because then people would not be taken in but over the top headlines, be able to control their emotions, and think about the entirety of the case.
This particular 'ruling' is about 1% guns and 99% procedure.
It is a ruling on an injunction. Not a ruling on a case. It has very little bearing out the outcome or potential outcomes of the case. Just because an injunction was not upheld does not mean the decision was "anti-gun" any more than it was "pro-gun". It was more about the details and procedures of an individual judge. Our justice system works very, very, very slow.
This is not an endorsement, it is an observation.
Settle down.
You may commence name calling now. I am a leftist-statist-communist-ss-whore.
I also pay fucking attention.
To understand why O’Connor may have thought he could get away with a second court order ruling in favor of ghost gun manufacturers, after the Supreme Court already smacked down his first decision in their favor, it’s helpful to understand an ongoing debate among the justices about how much power individual federal judges should have to set nationwide policy.
In his initial June decision, O’Connor held that all ghost gun manufacturers nationally are immune from the background check and serial number laws. Some members of the Supreme Court have complained that federal trial judges should not have this power to set national policy — or at least that they should use that power only rarely. As Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a recent concurring opinion, “a district court should ‘think twice — and perhaps twice again — before granting’ such sweeping relief.”
(Notably, Gorsuch has not actually done much to rein in nationwide orders targeting the Biden administration — though he was quite alarmed when judges issued such orders blocking Trump administration policies. Gorsuch dissented from the Court’s August decision blocking O’Connor.)
The Supreme Court’s August order, meanwhile, was only one paragraph long. And it did little to explain why the Court disagreed with O’Connor. So O’Connor appears to have bet that a majority of the justices didn’t actually disagree with his attempt to create a loophole that swallows up two major gun laws — they just didn’t want him to issue a nationwide order.
And so, in his September order, O’Connor once again ruled that ghost gun makers may defy federal law, but he applied that order only to two ghost gun companies that were actually parties to this lawsuit. Other companies that wish to sell ghost guns were beyond the scope of O’Connor’s September order, and so were still obligated to comply with federal law.
As a practical matter, O’Connor’s more limited September order would still have had a nationwide effect. If just one company is allowed to sell ghost guns without background checks . . .
Problem being the Supreme Court has very little power (all things considered) to reign in the Executive and Legislative Branches.IMO, It's high time that SCOTUS reminded FJB and his band of idiots that this applies to them as well...View attachment 8251713

No, they didn't (Take Brandon's side).This case DOES involve FJB - the regulation was a top priority of the Biden administration when elected. They announced two priorities for the ATF. One was pistol braces, and this "ghost gun" issue was the other. The ATF (part of the Biden Administration) promptly leapt into action to write new rules, just as it did when Trump had them do the same thing for bump stocks.
So to put it plainly, the Supreme Court took FJB's side for now on this issue.
They also accepted an appeal in the Rahimi case involving the Second Amendment's application to persons under a domestic violence restraining order. The Biden administration skipped the en banc hearing and asked the Supreme Court to take it on an expedited basis, and the Supreme Court did as they asked. The decision will be out next term.
^^ what he said ^^LOL, I think my post went right over your head. "For now," yes they did. As for knowing how the process works, I bet only one of us is a member of the Supreme Court bar, and I bet it isn't you. The new ATF rule can continue to be enforced against these two companies during the pendency of this case, and that is 100% the result of the Supreme Court's action. It is also the desired result of the Biden administration, which is the party that asked the Supreme Court for this ruling with an application for stay.
This is 100% a win for the Biden administration, and 100% a loss for the plaintiffs, Blackhawk Manufacturing Group and Defense Distributed, who cannot do business for now as a result of this win at the Supreme Court by the Biden administration.
You are correct only in that this is not the final ruling in the case. It will go back to the Fifth Circuit, which will send it back to the District Court, where Judge O'Connor will take up the case again. Whatever outcome there is from there will work its way back up to the Fifth Circuit, and maybe to the Supreme Court again.
So the Biden administration files an application for stay, the Supreme Court takes it and grants it, but you think that is not taking the Biden administration's side. This was the only issue before the Court, and the Court ruled on that issue in favor of what the Biden administration was requesting. Yes, the Court took the Biden administration's side. That is not "knee jerk hysteria" but a simple observation of what happened.
They had to take one side or the other.
It wasn't Defense Distributed and Blackhawk Manufacturing Group's side.
Let me explain it very slowly and in small words for you.^^ what he said ^^
we already knew how 4 supreme court justices were going to vote. they have D's and that piece of shit roberts.....
sad to see Amy go against the constitution on this.
Fed agencies shouldn't be allowed to make Laws.. I mean"Rules"
Wait till the AFT further expands on their "RULES"
- The rule was issued by the ATF Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
- The rule expanded the definition of a firearm under a 1968 federal law called Gun Control Act to include parts and kits that may be readily turned into a gun

US Supreme Court blocks judge's order allowing 'ghost gun' sales
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday barred two Texas-based manufacturers from selling products that can be quickly converted at home into firearms called "ghost guns," granting a request by President Joe Biden's administration to once again block a federal judge's order that had sided with companies.www.reuters.com
Supreme Court Again Lets Biden’s Limits on ‘Ghost Guns’ Stand
It appears.. most newspapers also see this as a WIN FOR JOE BIDEN
(You, @Malum Prohibitum and the rest of the fucktard pit dwellers, along with Chris Collinsworth: "OMG THIS GAME IS SO OVER FOR THE DEFENSE")
Nowhere in my posting above is this argument that the "game is so over for the defense" made. You simply invented this false claim and then wrote a post opposing a claim I did not make, instead of addressing what I wrote.
You are intentionally deceptive at this point. It can't possibly be innocent.
strawman
ad hominem
Just two fallacies that stand out in one post.
