Hmm, where to begin...

First, the merits of the case weren't considered in the ruling. 

"By throwing out the case on such grounds, the court avoided reaching a decision on the legal merits of whether the FDA acted lawfully in lifting various restrictions, including one making the drug obtainable via mail, meaning the same issues could yet return to the court in another case."

Second, the cons know they're in a highly charged political season with the upcoming election at hand. This is just a play on their part and the lack of standing provides a delaying option until the case is reheard again when it will be decided on its merits at which time the cons will ban the pill...

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose three trips that were paid for by GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow, according to information obtained by the Senate Judiciary Committee and released Thursday."

“Nearly $4.2 million in gifts and even that wasn’t enough for Justice Thomas, with at least three additional trips the Committee found that he has failed to disclose to date,” Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a statement."

Thomas , through a scotus spokesperson, refused to respond to a query by CNN. Of course not, being this is the most corrupt and arrogant and partisan SCOTUS known in the history of the country. The boys from the federalist society back at ya...

Insulting as it is to the Italian PM, she has to bring him back to the scene, like guiding a wandering 5 year old boy.

The video says it all.

"Right-wing media outlets used a deceptively cropped video to misleadingly claim President Joe Biden wandered off during an event with other world leaders at the G7 summit in Italy on Thursday."

"In the full, unedited video, Biden – who was standing with the group of leaders as a parachutist carrying a G7 banner landed in front of them – briefly turned away to give a thumbs-up to several parachutists who had landed behind the group, along with a parachute rigger who was kneeling on the ground to pack up one of the skydiver’s chutes and the French flag."

"Other leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, also briefly look toward that group. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni then walks toward Biden, taps him on the arm, and motions for him to join the other leaders who were being briefed by an Italian Army officer about the demonstration they just watched."

Leave it to RICH DAVIS, to advance the lie...

The video I posted was the full video, and you can see the other parachuter very clearly ignoring Joe Biden as the PM of Italy walks backwards and grabs his arm and turns him around.

So your assertion that I'm advancing any lie is without any merit, which of course means that you are full of shit. 

Then again we already knew that as anyone near you can smell you coming.

As usual the supporter of the Putin caucus in congress is living the lie and that's all he knows...

Like I said, you make false claims, then when your claims are proven to be bullshit as I just did, you cower like the intellectual coward you are and say someone else is lying.

Perhaps one of these days, you'll take responsibility for your lies, but being the leftist tool you are, I'm certain that will never ever occur.

"Hi I'm James, I run like the wind according to my Doctor, and my doctor says that I'm in phenomenal shape for my age, and ......... "

Wasn't that almost verbatim what you said one time here??   LOL  

The only person lying is yourself.  

" I run like the wind according to my Doctor"

Here's Trump just the other day forgetting the name of the doctor who gave him his cognitive test:

Folks like yourself who don't understand how a semi-automatic differs from an automatic, just put your ignorance on display. 

Just as Sotomayor did above.

My guess is that she's never fired a gun in her leftist life. Her response was nothing but emotional which is the issue with half of her rulings.  

Clarence Thomas's analogy is spot on.  His description is spot on.

I can do the same thing with my trigger finger as I can with a bump stock.  

It still requires the release of the trigger to reload the chamber.

There are easy ways of fitting a spring mechanism and a string or other item to pull the trigger over and over if one wants to do multiple firings that achieve the same thing as an automatic weapon.

Go get a clue about how guns work and then come back here because you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe then you won't sound so stupid.   

Even "justice" Alito gets it on this one:

"Alito, in his opinion, wrote that he agreed the ban should be lifted “because there is simply no other way to read the statutory language.” However, he acknowledged that the Congress that passed the law banning machine guns in 1934 would not have seen “any material difference” between a machine gun and a semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock."

Yeah, congress already ruled on machine guns in 1934. And try believing in getting any sort of a gun ban, a bump stock ban in particular, passed by a GOP congress and I've got a bridge to sell you...

"Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked an attempt by Democrats to pass a bill to ban bump stocks in the wake of a recent Supreme Court ruling."

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/18/politics/senate-bump-stock-ban-bill/index.html

Exact quote:

“A bump stock does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun any more than a shooter with a lightning-fast trigger finger does,”

F'ing wrong!!!

The truth:

"Sotomayor wrote in a scathing dissent joined by the court’s other two liberal justices that the majority’s ruling “will have deadly consequences.”

The decision, she wrote, “hamstrings the Government’s efforts to keep machineguns from gunmen like the Las Vegas shooter.”


“When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck,” Sotomayor wrote in her dissent. “A bump-stock-equipped semiautomatic rifle fires ‘automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.’ Because I, like Congress, call that a machinegun, I respectfully dissent.”

Notice in the above link that Thomas went to insane length to provide a bogus diagram of how the device supposedly doesn't turn a semi auto rifle into a rapid firing machine gun which it obviously does...
