Why you should have popcorn ready for the Hunter firearm charge

[Jon]

His lawyers said they would challenge the constitutionality of the law all the way up to SCOTUS.

The specific law is that drug users can’t buy firearms. That’s a broad category, and it doesn’t mention ‘convicted for drug use’, just drug use. So here is a law taking away 2nd amendment rights from a group with no due process.

So now imagine - Hunter on one side, the Biden administration on the other, going to SCOTUS.

It would create some interesting tensions and bedfellows. Might we have conservatives with 2nd amendment leanings rooting for Hunter?

What about Hunter Biden fans (whoever they might be) who don’t want to see gun rights expanded?

What a mess. I'm utterly uninterested in the gun charge. The potential corruption violation is of interest.

[Jolly]

If won, then that opens the door for the domestic violence question.

I guess it's always been Hunter's ambition to fuck as many women as he can and this time he won't have to seduce his SIL or buy them.

Remember the wisdom of the great philosopher Charlie Sheen - you’re not paying them to have sex with you, you’re paying them to go home afterwards.

Special counsel David Weiss intends to seek an indictment against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, relating to gun charges by the end of the month, the Justice Department said Wednesday.

Hunter Biden had previously reached a deal involving a gun possession charge that would have allowed him to avoid prosecution if he met certain conditions over a 24 month period. Once his plea deal fell apart in court the future of the gun deal has been in limbo.

“The Speedy Trial Act requires that the Government obtain the return of an indictment by a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest. The Government intends to seek the return of an indictment in this case before that date,” the special counsel’s office said in a court filing.

Biden’s lawyers are expected to submit their own filing by the end of the day.
