Somehow I think the Democrats will do like always and ignore what SCOTUS, Constitution or law says. Democrats love using OUR tax money to buy illegal votes for THEM.

He could get votes framing it in a way to make it look like the dysfunctional "NOT NORMAL" SC stood in his way of accomodating these deadbeats.

From the OP article:

#3. Jones v. Hendrix (argued Nov. 1, 2022): This is a case filed by a federal inmate, Marcus Jones, who in 2000 was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and was sentenced to more than 27 years in prison. In 2019, the Supreme Court ruled that the statute under which Jones was convicted requires prosecutors to show that the defendant knew that he was barred from possessing a gun – something that the government did not do for Jones, who contended that he believed that his record had been expunged. The question before the court is whether and how Jones can now challenge his detention when federal habeas corpus laws generally prohibit inmates from filing more than one petition for habeas corpus.

I so wish this ruling focused on Jones' right to bear arms, rather than his bringing his case before the court more than once.

It'd be interesting to learn whether his record had, indeed, been expunged or not. And, if not, why not.
