The game of politics can often be ground down to the game of top that.
With a growing number of states (among them Texas and South Carolina) with the United States enacting severe anti-abortion laws, California has responded with its own law.
The proposed bill, according to a press release from Newsom, would allow Californians to sue “anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon or ghost gun kit or parts” for damages — the same injunction-skirting mechanism Texas has used to ban all abortions after six weeks, which has so far been permitted by the Supreme Court.
The lawmakers who have created and enacted these draconian pieces of legislation knew exactly what they were doing. They knew that if their bills were written in a certain way, it would be impossible for the Supreme Court (or any court) to strike it down.
Bravo to Governor Newsom. At least someone is thinking rationally.
These are not unrelated events; a line can be drawn through SCOTUS hearing the two Maine cases involving COVID vaccinations right down through the abortion cases before the court. Add to that Governor Newsom’s decision to use the Texas law as a model for a gun control law and you can see how the battle is being set to be waged.
