Nothing new. The gov't has been acting outside of the law ever since Brandon took office.

Why would the DOJ need to uphold anything here? The states will be policing this.

SCOTUS literally took this out of the DOJ's hands.

My thought is that the DOJ will try to claim civil rights violations by not allowing abortions.

Problem is that this shite just goes straight to court. And who controls the interpretation of that? A 6-3 majority who just voted on the original case.

What could they do? Pretty sure they're basically cut out of it now.

By definition, no

i'm talking about the gun ruling from earlier this week; not RvW.

Biden DOJ Releases Bizarre Statement in Response to SCOTUS Opinion


quote:

We respectfully disagree with the Court’s conclusion that the Second Amendment forbids New York’s reasonable requirement that individuals seeking to carry a concealed handgun must show that they need to do so for self-defense. The Department of Justice remains committed to saving innocent lives by enforcing and defending federal firearms laws, partnering with state, local and tribal authorities and using all legally available tools to tackle the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our communities," DOJ Spokesperson Dena Iverson released in a statement.


in other words, we aren't going to enforce the ruling.

I'm still not sure how that could possibly work. New York's law is overturned. The DOJ doesn't have to be involved at all. If someone is denied a permit for self defense reasons, then that person can simply sue them to force compliance.

so if a person from NYC is caught carrying an 'illegal sidearm' due to being denied due to this bullshite law in another state you're saying the DOJ won't prosecute them?

sounds like they're saying they will.

Their statement says they don't agree with it not that the are going to uphold the ruling or make new law. Nothing in that statement says that.

so you're cool with the law enforcement arm of the federal government openly calling out decisions made by the supreme court?

you don't think this will lead this ruling being outright ignored by uppity NY?

why even judicate at all if the enforcement arm of the government says they, as an entity, disagree?

can you cite all the other examples where the DOJ released public statements questioning other SCOTUS rulings?

i'm sure after today you'll have at least one more.
