Opinion | The Supreme Court radicals' new precedent: Maximum chaos

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : In their opinion Thursday morning forcing New York and other densely populated states to allow more handguns in public, the conservative majority, led by Justice Clarence Thomas, argued that medieval law imposing arms restrictions -- specifically, the 1328 Statute of Northampton -- "has little bearing on the Second Amendment" because it was "enacted ... more than 450 years before the ratification of the Constitution."
34% :Yet in their ruling Friday morning in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, setting women's rights back half a century (and cracking the door to banning same-sex marriage and contraception), the conservative justices, led by Samuel Alito (who was also in the guns majority) and joined by Thomas, argued precisely the opposite.
