The 2nd amendment DOES NOT mean you have a right to own an AR-15

And auto racing has stock cars, Formula One, and so on, but it's all the same thing.

But not all of the cars are the same in design, power, and purpose, for each type of racing.

Yes, Congress is actively considering measures that could affect the structure and authority of the federal judiciary, particularly concerning the consolidation of federal court districts and the regulation of federal judges' powers. Below the results of a simple search you could have done yourself before commenting:

Congressional Authority Over Federal Courts​

Under Article III of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power to establish and organize lower federal courts. This includes the authority to create or eliminate federal court districts, adjust their funding, and define their jurisdiction. For instance, House Speaker Mike Johnson recently emphasized that Congress possesses the authority to eliminate entire district courts, highlighting the legislative branch's significant influence over the federal judiciary .The Guardian

Legislative Efforts to Regulate Judicial Authority​

In response to concerns about federal judges issuing nationwide injunctions that block executive actions, the Republican-led House passed a bill aiming to limit such powers. The legislation seeks to restrict federal district judges from issuing nationwide orders, allowing them to affect only the parties directly involved in a case. Proponents argue this addresses judicial overreach, while opponents contend it undermines the judiciary's ability to check executive power .AP News+1New York Post+1

Proposals for Judicial Expansion and Restructuring​

To address increasing caseloads and judicial backlogs, the Judicial Conference of the United States recommended the creation of new district and appellate judgeships. This led to the introduction of the JUDGES Act of 2024, proposing the addition of 66 new federal district judgeships. The Senate unanimously approved the bill, but it faced a presidential veto over concerns about the allocation and necessity of the new positions .Reuters+3United States Courts+3Wikipedia+3Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2Reuters+2

You asking chatGTP questions doesn't address my question.

Judges make the law. Any lawyer in the English-speaking world will tell you the same.

That is not true. Congress creates the law, and the courts are meant to interpret it. Yet today, courts increasingly assert the power to say what the law is, a doctrine rooted in Chief Justice John Marshall’s opinion in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137. This authority was not granted by Congress, but claimed by the Supreme Court itself. For this reason, the legacy of Marbury v. Madison remains unfinished business that future generations must confront and will probably do so as the antics of Federal Judges spiral out of control.

Knowing the vital stats of a thousand guns does no more qualify a person to drag a gun around Walmart than knowing a shitload about different motorcycles qualifies someone to wheelie their way across NY City.

It's deeply unimpressive bullshit.

Lol
So answer the question rather than copy pasta someone else's answer.

"Below the results of a simple search you could have done yourself before commenting:"

The answer is they aren't doing anything. Your search was a lengthy way of saying nothing.

 

[Rightguide]

Maximillian Robespierre would disagree with you had his head not been cut off.

In any case, Congress makes law in this country.

Politruk could be the most ignorant sub-creature of the left we have here on Lit.

You asked what Congress was currently considering, and I searched out the answer you could have found yourself, if you weren't inherently lazy. The second and third paragraphs explain what they are currently doing.

I didn't ask that

and I searched out the answer you could have found yourself, if you weren't inherently lazy.

I didn't need to Google it.

The second and third paragraphs explain what they are currently doing.

Nothing.
There is currently no legislation that is doing anything towards your goal

I didn't ask Google, you fuckhead.....I asked you. Why would I ask you to provide an answer I already have access to? I asked you to get your perspective.....not your search engines answer.

You will never live in an America without judicial review. If we lose that, we no longer have a republic.

 

[HisArpy]

Then the courts are not just wrong but they are in active insurrection against the law. A law which has not been overturned.

He's lying, don't play his game. Just tell him he's a liar and then drop it.

 

[HisArpy]

That does not include the AR-15.

Yet another lie.

The SCOTUS said in Heller that the 2nd Amendment protection extends to ALL bearable arms in common use.

Which would include the AR-15.

 

[HisArpy]

Nobody needs an AR-15 for "self-defense."

Notice how the narrative is changing...

 

[HisArpy]

Judges make the law. Any lawyer in the English-speaking world will tell you the same.

And still another lie.

The Legislative Branch makes the law. The Administrative Branch executes the law. The Judicial Branch interprets the law.

No judge "makes" the law because to do so would intrude into the exclusive province of the Legislative Branch.

Since this isn't "new" here on the PB, you're either a nitwit or a serial liar.

 

[HisArpy]

Article III​

Section 1​

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

The Supreme Court is the Art II Court. The Federal District courts were created by an act of Congress. As such they can be abolished by Congress, have their funding revoked, or any other measure which Congress deems appropriate to ensure order by the Federal District Courts.

So, you're wrong.

 

[Politruk]

And still another lie.

The Legislative Branch makes the law. The Administrative Branch executes the law. The Judicial Branch interprets the law.

No judge "makes" the law because to do so would intrude into the exclusive province of the Legislative Branch.

Since this isn't "new" here on the PB, you're either a nitwit or a serial liar.

Everyone who has ever been to law school in a common-law country knows that judges have made the law for a thousand years.

 

[HisArpy]

The courts could rule on any of those things if the question came before them in connection with a case in controversy.

It cannot come before the courts because it would be a nonjusticiable issue under the Political Question Doctrine

 

[HisArpy]

And auto racing has stock cars, Formula One, and so on, but it's all the same thing.

Shooting sports have pistols, rifles, shotguns and so on. What's your point? That auto racing can ban Chevy's because they're painted black?

 

[HisArpy]

Everyone who has ever been to law school in a common-law country knows that judges have made the law for a thousand years.

First of all; no they haven't. The court of common pleas (the original "common law" court) only dealt with cases that weren't covered by statute. For cases which were covered by statutes, the court couldn't use common law to decide the matter.

The common law courts also developed frameworks regarding non statutory issues. One such issue is where there are claims of money owed. In order to protect the peasants from unscrupulous land holders, the court fashioned a legal doctrine which requires that the complaining party have a writing setting forth the debt. The legislature took up the matter and created a statute in which claims for money in excess of a set sum requires a writing. This is called The Statute of Frauds.

So, the court didn't "create" the law. It's decisions led to the creation of the statute which then became binding law, but it didn't create it.

Because no judge can "make" law.

England had courts for centuries before it had a parliament.

What the ever-loving-fuck does any of this have to do with having the right to own an AR-15?

This is kinda random, but I think most of the posters here wish we had GB 2.0 which would basically be GB 1.0 before politics were banned from it.

 

[Politruk]

Those were the courts of common pleas.

And they made law.
