Here’s a fun little excerpt from NBC’s piece on today’s Hunter Biden indictment:
An attorney for Hunter Biden, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement the new charges are politically influenced and unwarranted. “We believe these charges are barred by the agreement the prosecutors made with Mr. Biden, the recent rulings by several federal courts that this statute is unconstitutional, and the facts that he did not violate that law, and we plan to demonstrate all of that in court,” Lowell said.
Note the claim that the “statute is unconstitutional.” Lowell is talking there about the court decisions that have followed last summer’s Bruen ruling — a ruling that Joe Biden vigorously opposes and wishes to see overturned. As NBC notes in a separate piece:
A federal appeals court ruled in June that the government cannot ban those convicted of nonviolent crimes from possessing a weapon, and a federal court in Texas recently ruled — following a major Supreme Court case last year that expanded gun rights — that the ban on drug users possessing weapons violates the Second Amendment.
It would be amusing if the first famous beneficiary of the changes wrought by Bruen was our Democratic president’s son. It would be even funnier if, having been pushed all the way up the chain, the case in which the Supreme Court affirmed the approach it laid out last year bore the plaintiff’s name, “Biden.”
