Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future.

The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction that must be remedied.

The Democratic senators' brief was filed in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. City of New York, which dealt with legal limitations on where gun owners could transport their licensed, locked, and unloaded firearms. They are urging the court to stay out of the case brought by the NRA-backed group, claiming that because the city recently changed the law to ease restrictions, the push to the Supreme Court is part of an "industrial-strength influence campaign" to get the conservative majority to rule in favor of gun owners.

If the court still decides to hear the case, a ruling against New York City could prevent other cities and states from passing similar gun control laws.
Conservatives currently outnumber liberals on the Supreme Court 5-4, but the past year featured a multitude of cases where conservatives — including President Trump's picks Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — sided with the liberal bloc.

The 'war' is hot now. Won't be the last battle in many more to come on all fronts.

If any of us did that to any judge we would be in jail for contempt so fast we wouldn't know what hit us. Hope the SC takes it as seriously

I think they are trying to do some intimidation, especially of Roberts. They are trying to preemptively affect decisions. They did this on the census question and it appears to have worked.

I believe they just send Roberts a few more clips of the 'video' .

Maybe those Democrats need a bit of a "warning" themselves.

The only good news is the odds of all four liberal judges outliving Trumps tenure is pretty small.

The next presidential election is still all about the Supreme Court. We need more non-liberal justices appointed.

The Supreme Court obviously is foiling the plans of the progressives, and it will for a generation if there are two more conservative appointees.

Ironic that Justice Thomas is the only conservative left on the court, ain't it?


The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

You forgot Roberts.

Roberts has flat out broken from protocol and warned Trump publicly, himself.

to the Dems, fundamental restructuring means appointing liberal judges. Ain't going to happen with Trump in office

Roberts is compromised.

For a bit of good news the 9th Circus is slowly going conservative with recent appointments.

This is a Democrat Red Herring designed to pressure the court. Dick Durbin is a long time Dem hack.
