There is little evidence that high-capacity magazine restrictions on firearms have any positive effects on public safety. Instead, these policies are ineffective, dangerous, and unconstitutional. http://j.mp/2IIxJIH

The two main issues with
@realDonaldTrump's bump stock ban are: 1) He can't do it, and 2) It's silly. Let's not trample over both the Constitution and the APA for a useless compromise. Can't wait to help fight this one.@GunOwners https://thefederalist.com/2018/12/07/president-trumps-stealth-bump-stock-ban-illegal-ignorant/ …#CATOScotus#2A -
#Kavanaugh voted to allow FBI agents to detain & interrogate overseas a U.S. citizen, w/out due process of any kind.

Justice Kennedy spent over 30 years on the Court and was the deciding vote on controversies ranging from campaign finance to gay marriage, the Second Amendment to abortion — and, in most terms, he agreed with Cato more than any other justice. http://j.mp/2KmgtxV

This afternoon the WSJ posted my long response to Dan Henninger's column last Thursday urging an end to "judicial overreach." The deeper problem, of course, is legislative and executive overreach. https://on.wsj.com/2m6nHrQ

The
#TravelBan undermines a core principle of the U.S. immigration system since 1965: that the law will not discriminate against immigrants based on nationality or place of birth. http://j.mp/2yR3pM6#CatoSCOTUS#CatoImmigrationpic.twitter.com/4q3rLKAKpJ

Interesting:
@TomGoldsteinSB says he thinks left-wing groups stayed out of Wayfair - none submitted an amicus brief - because they are hesitant to support overruling any Supreme Court decision. He thinks it's them trying to erect a high bar to overruling Roe v. Wade.#CatoSCOTUS -
"The measure of the Supreme Court’s success will be the extent to which it plays a role in rebalancing our constitutional order, curbing executive-branch overreach...and returning power back to the states." —

#CatoSCOTUS If there is no justice at the start of the term, what happens to cases such as Gundy and Knick? These cases are set for OA in the first week. Would the new justice, once confirmed, still vote on these cases even if he/she did not participate in OA? -

"The Court proceeds with an inexplicable sense of urgency" as they deal a horrifying loss to the American taxpayer in Wayfair. An expected loss, but a big one nonetheless.
