(TNS) Do you remember when Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts criticized President Donald Trump’s characterization of a federal jurist who defied established law and struck down one of his early immigration executive orders as “an Obama judge?”
Hey…hey! Roberts lectured. ‘We’re not political here on the high court! We’re chosen for our constitutional acumen and expertise and politics has nothing to do with selection!’ We don’t have “Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.â€
Yeah, right. We laughed too, the same as everyone else who knows and understands how federal judges and Supreme Court judges are selected.
In any event, thank God President Trump not only won in 2016 but has held true to his promise to appoint constitutional originalists to the federal bench and the nation’s highest court.
Because that truly is the only academic, legal, and ‘political’ consideration that should go into any nominee to the Judicial Branch by the president and considered by the Senate.
Enter Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire media mogul who founded the anti-gun organization Everytown For Gun Safety.
He wants to do just the opposite of what President Trump is doing: He wants to nominate Supreme Court justices who will patently disregard certain constitutional guarantees like the Second Amendment, which protects Americans’ “right to keep and bear arms” without infringement.
In an opinion piece in the Chicago Tribune, Bloomberg rehashed his stance on the Supreme Court case known as New York Rifle and Pistol Association v. New York City.Â
At the time, NYC prohibited gun owners from transporting firearms outside of city limits, even if the resident was taking them to a gun range. Once the New York Rifle and Pistol Association, along with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Second Amendment Foundation (SAF )challenged the city’s ordinance in a court of law, NYC decided to rescind the law.
The city tried to get the lawsuit thrown out, saying the point is now moot because the ordinance no longer exists. Gun rights advocates, however, are worried the city will reimplement the law if the Supreme Court decides to throw out the case.Â
Bloomberg predictably blames pro-gun groups like the NRA (which was founded in large part to protect and defend the Second Amendment from would-be tyrants like Bloomberg and every other Democrat).
His solution is to “appoint judges who understand that the Second Amendment allows for common sense limits on gun ownership.”
He writes:
The last major gun safety ruling by the Supreme Court, in 2008, affirmed that reasonable restrictions on gun possession are constitutional. But the NRA has not given up on its absolutist vision of the Second Amendment, which is inconsistent with American history, oblivious to public safety and out of step with the American people. The NRA opposes much-needed fixes to the gun-sale background check system — which are supported by 90% of Americans — as well as restrictions on gun possession for domestic abusers and stalkers.
As president, I will appoint judges who understand that the Second Amendment allows for common sense limits on gun ownership. I’ve spent 15 years working to build a national coalition that is capable of taking on the NRA and winning — and I’m glad to say that we now have the NRA on the ropes. That may be one reason why the NRA is hoping the court will save it.

Mind you, Bloomberg hates “assault weapons” — those misnamed semi-automatic rifles that fit neatly into the legal description of a “firearm.”
The Second Amendment explicitly protects our right to “keep and bear” firearms. So what’s ‘common sense’ to Bloomberg and his anti-Second Amendment justices?
That would have to be confiscation…right?
How else would he get rid of them?
You know, Mike, maybe America wouldn’t need an NRA if we didn’t have Left-wing politicians who constantly seek to neuter the Second Amendment.

Any orders to infringe upon the Constitution, and my inalienable God-given rights will be met with 100× the force applied against my rights!
FU commie pinko bastatds!
Soon, you will have to either put up or shut up. Many will cower and hope they will pass them by.
I got your six on that. So add my name to the militia that will take him out.
I’d rather neuter Bloomberg!!
Looks like Doomberg is just the man the 2nd amendment was put in the Constitution for. When a totalitarian dictator tries to infringe on our rights, well, sometimes dictators end up assassinated in 3rd world countries.
Doomberg should watch his back. Yeah, really.
Dumberg will NEVER be potus!
And sometime it may happen here……………………
To Corn Pop! What would happen if Doomberg had to disarm his security detail? Or,have no security detail?
The big money bet is if Doomberg will outlast any of the current Justices/
There will NEVER be a President Big Gulf, so his point is moot!
Perfect. I hope he makes this the centerpiece of his campaign. Let’s find out if Americans are ready for his ideas on guns.
That IS and HAS been his position for decades now.
He has no real vote-getting campaign and his chances of winning are about like Lucifer’s for taking over heaven.
Well Mike, too bad you are a day late and a dollar short. Even if you were elected President (and you wont be), Trump has already corrected the SC. You more than likely would not get a chance to install anyone, except for possibly replacing Ruth. But she is so far left it wouldn’t make any difference.
They killed Scalia and forced Roberts to serve them. They could do it.
It’s OK because he has his own security team and you don’t.
There aren’t enough of them to stop me.
It’s OK because he has a personal security team and you don’t.
Relax folks, nothing here to see ….just a wealthy loudmouth who has less than a 1.6% chance of attaining national office ….
His arrogance has already finished him.
Arrogant prick is what he is.
Saturday Night Live, Townhall episodes with Woody Harrelson as Biden, and the one recently as they portrayed Bloomberg is on point and hilarious. check it out. But seriously, They are trying to take away all our rights, by taking our guns we are not citizens anymore we are servants we can not protect ourselves from anybody or even a rogue cop, the gov’t takes over we as people are not a threat to them, they are also attacking free speech, we don’t even have a fourth amendment anymore as far as I can tell. We the people better wake or… Read more »
Roberts cannot be so naive as to not realize that there are liberal and conservative Supreme Court Justices. I’m guessing he just felt a need to contradict Trump. This is not a good sign for future rulings that Roberts might be the Swing Vote for.
Roberts was the douche who supported obama care. He was either a closet liberal or the clintons had something on him.
The deep state has dirt on Roberts and squeezes him to change things to their liking.
Robert’s is no conservative,he’s a traitor!!
Good thing that he won’t be our next president.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
Never did see the expiration date on that.
The jew cries out in pain as it strikes it victim.
Kommrade KRAPolian Bloomberg is fully aware: THAT is why he’ll never be President !!! It’s his kind all US Sovereigns are armed AGAINST !!!
If you want to start a civil war and ensure that tens of thousands, if not millions of American lives are lost this is one of the fastest ways to get that ball rolling.
…and that’s ANOTHER .308 “implement”, custom fabbed, custom cut, etc. nary a serial to find.
That’s unconstitutional, idiot. They are supposed to SUPPORT and defend the WHOLE Constitution, not just the parts they like.
Thus, you will NEVER be elected.
They don’t get to be Supreme Court justices if they won’t support the second ammendment.
In other news, Bloomberg calls for a war on poverty by giving 10 million to dems running for office. The poor were quoted ‘Thank God that dear sweet Mr Bloomberg has our best interests at heart’.
Too late Doomberg, when Trumps wins again and RBG kicks off, there will be another conservative on the court.
So I guess Bloomberg, who thinks Trump’s ego is off the charts, must have a bigger one since he gloats more.
There is one difference, Trump gloated and has gotten things done… I like that kind of gloating.
Bloomberg has been gloating for years and all we have from him is a monopoly of over priced “Bloomberg terminals”… 17,500 bucks and more per month, and 2,600 journalists on the Bloomberg payroll to agree with him.
When RBG kicks off, they will embalm her and prop her up in a chair. No one would even notice since she is snoozing on the job.
It’s not bragging if you back it up
You show me a Democrat, and I’ll show you a radical anti-American pathological serial liar, a corrupt political criminal, a globalist socialist marxist leftist anarchist communist, a violent fascist, a seditious treasonous ideologue zealot who’s sole belief and intent is the destruction of not just Pres Trump, his Admin, the Republican Party of Lincoln, but more specifically destroy and burn to the ground America as a Constitutional Republic-Govt Of, By, and For We the People, the Electoral College, the Bill of Rights – Freedom of Religion, Speech, Right to Bear Arms, etc ..
No guns, no sodas over 16oz, more taxes on the middle class to pay for cut rate inferior healthcare for everyone including illegal aliens, no school choice, more regulations(fewer jobs), higher taxes on small businesses. Oh yeah, spending $100M + on TV ads full of bs promises. A wealthy version of AOC.
I’m so glad this midget dicktater got into the race, KAGA assured.
Bloomberg simply checked out the menagerie running for the democrat nomination and thought “Why not??” He has as good a chance as any of the other crazies.
I don’t mean to dilute your statement but you insult ordinary crazy people with your comment.
I don’t think anyone has to guess who it is that sold out america to the CHINESE ,THE DEMONRATS,how many will survive the coming WAR the demonrats will start with the world to save themselves,JUST REMEMBER PATRIOTS,who your enemy is..THE GOVERNMENT ,otherwise the TRAITORS would all be in prison,WAITING THEIR EXECUTION,it won’t happen till the WAR starts,then everyone will realize it could have been stoped with TWENTY FEET OF ROPE,now go buy some good strong 3/4 inch rope,your going to need it…
good lord just how stupid is bloomie?? certainly not smart enough to be President. he fooled the libtards who live in nyc and elected him their mayor but his crap isn’t going to fly in the real world.
He will not get the chance he is not going to be president.
The action being promoted by this commie scumbag would cause his rapid demise, followed by millions of his commie buddies.
OK, so now we know for sure without a doubt that he is anti American, anti freedom and would sell out our freedoms for his personal gain.
[…] Bloomberg says he’ll make sure to neuter the Second Amendment with ‘anti-gun’ Supreme Court ju… […]
Someone tell Bloomie that he will NEVER be able to hire enough security or secret service to protect ME from taking him out if he tries to take my second amendment rights.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
This will not go well for this bastard.
It’s curious that Bloomberg has so much money and so little brains. Do you wish to stop drunks from kil ling sober people? Ban sober people from getting drivers licenses. That’s how gun control works.
I love the fact that this guy is spending so much money on his campaign. It helps the Presidents economy. Got to love the irony.
Sure, and laws made to stop evil-doing lawbreakers are as asinine as thinking a heavy coat will prevent winter from coming.
Apparently Bloomberg doesn’t understand that if he solicits potential justices that have a stated bias against the Second Amendment and that person ends up on the bench they would have to recuse them-self from that case.
Wrong about the NRA! They have actually helped write nearly every restriction of the RKBAs, starting with the 1934 NFA. NRA is a shill org which is losing members like crazy because they have been exposed for this, and the lavish salaries and perks for NRA bigwigs. GOA (Gun owners of America) is the real pro 2nd group, along with CCRKBAs, 2nd Amendment Foundation and several others
This single comment, “I will erase the 2nd Amendment, through judicial activism.”
Tells us. A). Bloomberg is a mental midget. B). Bloomberg is an enemy to every citizen of the United States. C). Bloomberg hates the Constitutional Rights,that prevents Tyrants from taking over.
I for one would welcome him to try this. I have his name and a very short period in the Pool.
