SCOTUS strikes down NY concealed carry law

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/new-york-gun-law-supreme-court-decision/index.html

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York gun law enacted more than a century ago that places restrictions on carrying a concealed handgun outside the home – an opinion marking the widest expansion of gun rights in a decade.

“Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State’s licensing regime violates the Constitution,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the court’s 6-3 majority.

Here are some other recent rulings from the conservative SCOTUS:

Supreme Court limits ability to enforce Miranda rights

The court limited the ability to enforce Miranda rights in a ruling that said suspects who are not warned about their right to remain silent cannot sue a police officer for damages under federal civil rights law even if the evidence was ultimately used against them in their criminal trial.

The ruling will cut back on an individual's protections against self-incrimination by barring the potential to obtain damages. It also means that the failure to administer the warning will not expose a law enforcement officer to potential damages in a civil lawsuit. It will not impact, however, the exclusion of such evidence at a criminal trial.

The court clarified that while the Miranda warning protects a constitutional right, the warning itself is not a right that would trigger the ability to bring a civil lawsuit.

GOP lawmakers can intervene to defend North Carolina voter ID law, Supreme Court rules

Two Republican leaders of North Carolina’s legislature could step in to defend the state’s voter ID law even though the state’s attorney general, a Democrat, is already doing so, the Supreme Court said.

The opinion will make it easier for other state government officials to intervene in some instances in lawsuits when the state government is divided.
