Supreme Court temporarily reinstates ban on “ghost guns”
As per usual, this is being misreported, save for here in Amy Howe's reporting. The Court hasn't decided the issue, it decided to put the law back in place until the issue is decided.
Still, while 5 to 4, it's another example of the Court not doing what people claim it will, although this is an example of Roberts being the tie vote. . . again. That's also something that supposedly doesn't happen anymore, but it obviously does.
The question from here is does anyone really want this to be decided at the next level? 5 to 4 may be how it comes in should the issue make it all the way up to a final Supreme Court decision, which would mean that the 2nd Amendment isn't unlimited in scope, which indeed, it really is not. On the other hand, that four justices saw it the other way on something that's really simply regulatory in nature is surprising.
