Retired liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens made the news for suggesting that the Second Amendment should be repealed in a New York Times op-ed. President Trump wasn’t having any of that.
President Trump tweeted early Wednesday morning, ” THE SECOND AMENDMENT WILL NEVER BE REPEALED! As much as Democrats would like to see this happen, and despite the words yesterday of former Supreme Court Justice Stevens, NO WAY. We need more Republicans in 2018 and must ALWAYS hold the Supreme Court! “
Stevens was a solidly liberal vote on the court that was replaced by Obama when he retired. Stevens said in the Times,“Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.”
With the possibility of Justice Kennedy retiring or with one of the other aging members of the court becoming incapacitated, the fifty-one Republicans in the Senate may not be able to get a conservative replacement that would protect the Second Amendment. President Trump is right that picking up seats in the midterms is the only way to keep justices like Stevens off the court and protect our rights.
