Today, in its ruling on the NYSRPA v Bruen case, the United States Supreme Court struck down a New York state law that sought to abridge a citizen's right to carry a handgun outside his/her home for self-defense. The vote was 6-3, with Clarence Thomas writing the majority opinion.
In another excellent ruling, the Supreme Court voted 8-1 (Sotomeyer dissenting) ruled that Republican lawmakers do have authority to intervene for the enforcement of voter id laws in North Carolina. This brings much-needed accountability to the conduct of elections.
All this goes to show that elections have consequences and that we as Christians have a duty to vote, even if none of the candidates is as pure as the driven snow. These rulings would not have happened if Trump was defeated in 2016. I daresay that much of today's mess would not have happened had the election not been stolen from Trump in 2020.
