Gillibrand slams NRA, conservatives in Supreme Court filing, warns the court could be restructured
Democratic presidential contenders rolled out new gun control plans in the wake of two mass shootings earlier this month in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York and 2020 presidential candidate, speaks during the Everytown for Gun Safety Presidential Gun Sense Forum, in Des Moines Iowa, U.S., on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019.Democratic presidential contenders rolled out new gun control plans in the wake of two mass shootings earlier this month in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
The argument comes as other presidential contenders, including South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, have criticized the increased politicization of the Supreme Court. But unlike arguments made by other candidates, the critique quietly put forward by Gillibrand was delivered directly to the justices.
Court reform efforts gained new traction following the contentious confirmation hearings of Justice Brett Kavanaugh last year, which prompted liberal activists to urge Democratic lawmakers to address the court's newly reliable conservative majority.
Gillibrand has said she regrets her past positions. She told CBS last year that it was "something that I'm embarrassed about and I'm ashamed of." But after the Supreme Court agreed to review the Second Circuit decision, New York amended the challenged rules in order to give the challengers ", " according to New York's corporation counsel, Zachary Carter. Because New York voluntarily amended the disputed laws and regulations, the case should no longer be reviewed by the justices, New York argues.
