A Split of Conservative Justices

“A rift is emerging among the Supreme Court’s conservatives — and it could thwart the court’s recent march to expand gun rights,” Politico reports.

“On one side is the court’s oldest and most conservative justice, Clarence Thomas. On the other is its youngest member, Amy Coney Barrett.”

“The question at the center of the spat may seem abstract: How should the court use ‘history and tradition’ to decide modern-day legal issues? But the answer may determine how the court resolves some of the biggest cases set to be released in the coming days, particularly its latest foray into the Second Amendment right to bear arms.”
