   Ok, I just finished reading #Rahimi and posting about it as I did so. That thread starts at https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/112655732466156993 and (I broke it, accidentally) continues at https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/112655834420033803. Now, some more synthetic reactions from me. 1/

     The concurring opinions in #Rahimi, read together, signal a brewing fight over overruling #Bruen altogether. The concurrences most clearly concerned with this are by #Sotomayer, #Gorsuch, and #Jackson. But I think even #Kavanaugh and #Barrett are telegraphing information about their positions on that. While I certainly hope Bruen comes up for reconsideration and gets overruled, it would be better for the court to overrule #Heller and thus its progeny, which includes #Bruen. 2/

     Currently planning a piece on why parties should be fighting for #Heller to be overruled. The heart of the matter: that decision was lawless, utterly ungrounded in text, precedent, or history. It has led to an equally lawless ruling about the right to carry firearms outside one's home and to Bruen itself. 3/

     I have very mixed feelings about commenting on any Supreme Court opinions at this point. I believe that Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett are illegitimate appointees. Gorsuch because Obama was improperly deprived of an opportunity to nominate a Justice and Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett because they accepted appointment from Trump when it was abundantly clear that he is opposed to constitutional democracy and expects justices appointed by him to install him in office. 4/
