Strangely enough, Pelosi's opponent for Minority Leader, Rep Tim Ryan from Ohio, has proposed doing exactly that. I may not agree with…pretty much anything he says but I believe he's an economist (or at least holds a degree in economics) and he's spot on with this. Wanna spread the wealth without taking anyone's money? Spread out government jobs across the country instead of concentrating them in a tiny area.
The Court is comped. Seems like Justice Thomas is the only one who gives a shit about the Second Amendment as the Court has declined every major 2A case since 2010. Caetano was the only one they took and it wasn't published. Just a GVR order. Thomas dissented from denial in Sylvester v. Becerra (alone, last week), Peruta v. Gore (with Gorsuch), Friedman v. City of Highland Park (with Scalia) and Jackson v. City of San Francisco (with Scalia). I recall reading something about Roberts leaving in tears after casting the deciding vote for the ObamaCare mandate. Obama packed the circuit courts with a bunch of MKULTRA'd ideologues. Sotomayor's career was unremarkable when nominated for SCOTUS. In fact, it still is. All I gotta say is it takes a serious stretch to confer constitutional rights on some guy sitting in a cave in Afghanistan who has no desire to come to America but the Ninth Circuit managed to do it.
I also don't get why people think that gun confiscation will EVER happen here. How many dead cops do they want? No one is dumb enough to volunteer to go seize someone's firearms "just because." Not only that, most LEOs and military (NCOs and commissioned officers) will tell whoever is giving the orders to go to hell. Not gonna happen. But hypothetically speaking, if it does then they can have my bullets first.
