The US vs. Rahimi case is the one to watch. Zackey Rahimi, a convicted drug dealer, is an unsympathetic defendant in the case mischaracterized as being about domestic violence and the possession of guns. It actually focuses on due process of law.

5th Circuit panel correctly ruled that constitutional rights cannot be taken away based on restraining orders. At least four Supreme Court judges support hearing the case.

It is exactly the kind of case that gave rise to the cliche that hard cases make bad law. I pray that something happens to moot this case before it is heard. Why might you ask?

I believe it is setting up the legalization of red flag laws which Kavenaugh noted that he wanted in his Bruen ruling note. If they do that, it voids all 10 amendments until it’s overturned which could take 100 years.

I pray I am very very wrong!!
