It takes 4 Justices to vote to hear a case, I doubt he was one of them and one of those 4 would have rephrased the question. My suspicion is that Thomas and Alito believe that tailoring the question got them Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.
The big question is whether Roberts would join solely to get to write the majority opinion as narrowly as possible. If he does, look for concurring in part, dissenting in part opinions from the other justices. It could be a mess.
or the coward bastards could rule that the 2nd only means in my house. THAT will be a disaster and maybe the last straw for many states/people. i predict they will rule with the lower court. its okay, i welcome it. every step they take brings the reset, not theirs but ours, sooner the better.
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
