Rahimi demonstrated for courts how they should be operating at a higher level of generality than the nitpicking historical analysis we’ve seen since Bruen. That’s good, but how much will it really rein in courts that are adrift after Bruen? Not a lot, explains @JacobDCharles 👇
My latest on Rahimi. It’s even less than we should have expected from the Court.

Overlooked: state cts resolve more 2A claims than fed cts and are extremely burdened by SCOTUS's ambiguous recent guidance. I highlight that burden and how Rahimi does little to resolve it (even in DV cases) @statecourtrept @BrennanCenter @SMULawSchool

@narosenblum @OrinKerr the selection bias here is especially striking in an opinion that goes to such lengths to argue that history and tradition minimizes judicial bias.

Exciting to see Justice Jackson citing my work with Joseph in her concurrence. The opinions -- 103 pages' worth -- reflect an effort to climb out of the hole Bruen created. Ultimately, lower courts will still be adrift, and SCOTUS will have a lot more clean-up work to do.
Justice Jackson cited Brennan Center Fellow @ericmruben in her concurrence in U.S. v. Rahimi, repudiating some of the damage from Justice Thomas's disastrous decision in Bruen.
