    Just spinning out the decision so you can find in it your worst nightmare isn't very honest. There is nothing unique or that requires individual creative expression to rent an apartment to one person and not another.

    Thomas is waiting on the 2025 RV models to be released before writing any opinions.

    Shouldn't this thread be merged with the religion thread?

    I believe all three rulings today were unanimous.

    Bump stock case is out.

    SCOTUS blog: The question in this case is whether a bumpstock (an accessory for a semi-automatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger to fire very quickly) converts the rifle into a machinegun. The court holds that it does not.

    6-3.

    Yep. One sane case and the rest are going to be batshit. I hope Trump enjoys his impending immunity from this corrupt court.

    This is *not* a Second Amendment case, but instead a statutory interpretation case -- whether a bumpstock meets the statutory definition of a machinegun. The ATF in 2018 issued a rule, contrary to its earlier guidance that bumpstocks did not qualify as machineguns, defining bumpstocks as machineguns and ordering owners of bumpstocks to destroy them or turn them over to the ATF within 90 days.

    The Thomas opinion explains that a semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is not a "machinegun" because it does not fire more than one shot "by a single function of the trigger" as the statute requires.
