4/ But it's not just her general philosophy - it's her stunning dissent in Kanter v. Barr. There, she broke with decades of precedent (and Scalia's decision in DC v. Heller) upholding the constitutionality of background checks, and argued that felons have a right to own guns. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ So, for instance, that makes it easy for her to rule against bans on weapons that didn't exist in the 1700s (like semi-automatic weapons), or restrictions on guns in places that didn't exist (like airplanes), or background checks for felonies that post-date 1787. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ In Kanter, Barrett said two things that made clear she intends to legislate from the bench. First, she said that courts, not the legislature, should decide who is too dangerous to own a gun. She said courts should take that power away from the legislature. Just mind-blowing. — PolitiTweet.org
