It is a matter of considerable irony that the calls for "reforming" the Court have reached their fever pitch at the exact same moment that the Court has begun to sedulously execute its role. Nevertheless, there is a modest way for the courts to do this and an immodest way for the courts to do it, and, thus far, this Court has stayed firmly on the modest side. If one were to take the Court's left-wing critics at face value, one could be forgiven for concluding that, since its new 6-3 majority was secured in 2020, the Court had begun to heed these cavillous voices and to reinvent America according to their terms.

Since 2003, 24 states have joined Vermont, bringing the total number of states in which law-abiding citizens may carry concealed firearms without first having to apply for a permit to 25 - or exactly half of the 50 that have been admitted to the Union thus far. Likewise if the case had come down in 1996, by which point 30 states had adopted "shall issue" but there were still twelve "may issue" states and seven "no issue" states in existence.

When described neutrally, the bill that Disney opposes is not only popular among a majority of Floridians (and of Americans), it is popular among a majority of Floridians of all parties. Instead, Disney's former CEO, Bob Iger, seems to have fired off an ill-considered tweet, some of Disney's staff seem to have followed suit, and Bob Chapek seems to have jumped in with both feet. ARTICLES IN some quarters of the American Right, it has become an article of faith that when the wishes of conservatives are pitted against the wishes of the progressive movement and its allies in the press, academia, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and the S&P 500, the conservatives "always lose.".
