Recent SCOTUS Opinions

[BmorePat87]

SCOTUS upheld an ruling in which two men from Maine who had prior domestic violence convictions were charged with possessing guns, a violation of federal law given their criminal past.

They argued that their convictions were based on reckless behavior, not intentional behavior. The majority opinion ruled that domestic violence is always the result of intentional behavior and they could be prevented from owning guns

This was the case where Thomas asked his first question in 10 years, asking if reckless behavior warrants losing a constitutional right for life
