Supreme Court Upholds Gun Law, Justice Thomas Dissents
Nearly Unanimous Decision
In a nearly unanimous decision on Friday, the US Supreme Court upheld a gun law, with only Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting. The decision was a significant victory for gun control advocates and a setback for proponents of gun rights.
Thomas's Dissent
In his dissenting opinion, Justice Thomas argued that the Court had erased the Public Use Clause from the Constitution, which he said guarantees the right of individuals to keep and bear arms.
Thomas's Concurring Opinion
In his concurring opinion in a separate case overturning Roe v. Wade, Justice Thomas laid out a vision for overturning other landmark precedents, including the right to same-sex marriage and contraception.
Trump's Immunity Claims
The Supreme Court also issued its ruling on former President Donald Trump's immunity claims on Monday, holding in a 6-3 decision that he does not have immunity from lawsuits related to the January 6 Capitol riot.
Trump's Success
Despite the Supreme Court's ruling against him on his immunity claims, Trump had a successful year in court in 2023, with a number of lower court rulings going in his favor.
