Re: Supreme Court to hear first major Second Amendment case in a decade
Are we assuming Barret is going to vote with the left? Wouldn't it be 5-4 without Roberts if she doesn't?

That's right. It's why her ascension to the bench was key. It takes out the Roberts effect.

Good assumption if you trust Cavanaugh to vote pro second.
This upcoming case have both sides of the issue feeling uncomfortable.

He will allow few if any important 6-3 decisions to break along political lines. I suspect he feels that 5-4 decisions help preserve the integrity of the court in his mind since the media will continue to portray him as a conservative who is "doing the right thing". He wants to be the new Justice Kennedy and get all of the accolades. Also, in my opinion, one cannot completely discount the rumors that Roberts is compromised and threatened in a personal way by some nefarious deep state entities who have something on him.
Why in the world would he have constructed Obama care into "taxation" if they did not have something on him?

There are nuances to the submission and the courts limited cert grant.
The boundaries may be much narrower than expected.

"Why did the Court rewrite the question presented in this Second Amendment case?"
Re-writing the question is very common. Why they wrote it that way who knows. My first thought when I saw it was that they may try to pull a Peruta and rule that CCW can be banned or severely regulated, and not touch open carry. Then again I thought why bother to take up a case like this only to turn around and basically punt on the larger issue (public carry)? Doesn't make sense and we already know Thomas & Gorsuch derided the Peruta opinion, and Kavanaugh (w/Thomas) votes to hear the NJ case Rogers.
So I'm thinking they wrote the question as watered down as possible. In essence, yes, it is about plaintiffs' CCW applications. The court though still has to come up with a rationale why it comes up with whatever opinion it comes up with.
