Judicial decisions are likely the best chance, and the quickest chance (if you count 5 years as "quick"), of any of our rights being restored here in Hawaii. With more appointments by Trump to the Ninth Circuit of judges that may be more likely to support Second Amendment guaranteed rights, the odds of getting three judge panels and 11 judge en banc panels that might go our way improve... and they need to be improved a LOT. It's a start.
The liberal tears. I LOVE the liberal tears!
Trump snubs Feinstein, Harris to nominate conservative judges to liberal 9th Circuit
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-snubs-feinstein-harris-to-nominate-conservative-judges-to-liberal-9th-circuit
President Trump is plowing ahead to fill three vacancies on the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, brushing aside Democratic resistance to nominate conservative judges.
Presidents traditionally work with senators from judicial nominees' home state -- in this case, California -- to put forward judicial picks. They often seek what's known as a "blue slip," or an opinion from those senators.
But in a snub to California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, the White House announced Wednesday that Trump had nominated Patrick Bumatay, Daniel Collins and Kenneth Kiyul Lee (all from the Golden State, and reportedly all members of the conservative Federalist Society) to the influential circuit. The court, with a sprawling purview representing nine Western states, has long been a thorn in the side of the Trump White House, with rulings against the travel ban and limits on funding to "sanctuary cities."

I read that McConnell told the Democrats in the Senate, if they want to have a recess to go campaign for midterms, they needed to confirm the slate of 15 judges and 21 executive branch nominees Trump selected.
They did. :thumbsup:
Trump and McConnell can now take credit for installing 84 judges to lifetime appointments on the nation’s courts —
two on the Supreme Court, 29 appellate judges on the circuit courts and 53 on the district courts.
Once all the new confirmees are sworn in, roughly one of every six circuit judges will be a Trump nominee.
Winning!!

Hope these 3 judges get on board before the Young v HI en banc case. Need all the help we can get.
