Harris Claims SCOTUS Decision in NY Gun Case 'Defies' the Constitution

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down New York's restrictive handgun law is drawing some interesting takes.

Shortly after the ruling was announced, Harris said, "We, the president, myself, many of us are deeply concerned and troubled by the Supreme Court's ruling today."

The irony of Harris claiming a decision to protect rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment defies the Constitution, while holding an event to discuss ways to protect access to abortion which is explicitly not in the Constitution, is quite special.

The decision notes that other states have permitting requirements to be able to carry concealed outside of the house.

As the Supreme Court's decision states, "We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant's right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works."

Biden and Harris' claim that this decision defies or contradicts the Constitution is bizarre as the Supreme Court is the arbiter of what is or is not Constitutional, therefore the decision can't defy the Constitution as it is written.
