We know Roberts is a vote against the 2A and along with the leftist side of the court.

Grayling, why do you say this? When has Roberts made a decision on gun rights that leads you to this conclusion?

Turn it back to you...when has Roberts voted for the 2A? The number of times Roberts has voted with the socialists on important issues is what I based my comment on. A number of people smarter than I have made the assertion that Roberts is no friend of the 2A.

Because you asked...Roberts is quite good on 2A. I know, hard to believe.

He was on the right side of D.C. v. Heller and McDonald v. City of Chicago. These are the best SC 2A opinions in my dad's (and maybe grandpa's) lifetime.

In a 5-4 situation like that I think Roberts may move to a 6-3 anyway. If he is in the majority, he can determine who writes the opinion. An opinion written by him as opposed to Thomas is much different. That said, I don't think Roberts has been bad historically on 2A. He voted with the majority on Heller while Chief Justice--and he had Scalia write the opinion.
