 this is the sort of move you'd expect here in sain't obama's third term, even if it is a behind the scenes, scene;


The Biden Department of Justice has fast-tracked the case United States v. Rahimi to the Supreme Court in an attempt to nullify or limit the reach of the landmark NYSRPA v. Bruen decision from 2022.

The case itself centers around one Zackey Rahimi, a Texas resident and alleged drug dealer convicted of violating a domestic violence restraining order by possessing a firearm.

That is the charge that the Biden DOJ is fixated on, at least. Rahimi has four other felonies and five other misdemeanors that could have potentially barred him from owning a firearm as well, but in the context of this case, the administration pretends those crimes don't exist.

Rahimi was arrested in Oct. of 2021 and later convicted on this charge. He appealed his case to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which struck down the federal statute prohibiting those under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms.

Interestingly, the Federal Government has fixated on this specific charge. According to an analysis from The Reload, Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland wants the Supreme Court to choose between defending Rahimi (who on all accounts is a bona fide dangerous criminal) by defending the Bruen decision or contradicting their previous ruling and scaling back Bruen.
