Doesn't offend me, I completely understand. I've been making compromises and choking down the lesser of two evils for decades. For the most part, the betrayals have been a failure to do what was promised in an area that did not necessarily have a direct impact on the constitution or on a fundamental right. In this case it would (potentially) be both. I think my breaking point is far more lenient than it should be, but at some point we all break. I'm nearly there.
Up until now I've pretty much resisted this view but I'm all but there. I expected Trump to stop this stuff, not enable it. Good grief Obama - OBAMA - wouldn't even ban bump stocks. Not only did Trump do it, he did it in a manner that greases the skids for an executive ban on ANY semi-auto weapon. And hardly anybody said a word. It's beyond infuriating.
But what have the done in the past decade besides turning down cases like the Kansas GOA case and CA infringement cases? If these people are going to be lifers on the court, they might as well be useful and listen to more cases. (Granted I know they have a lot of cases to hear about other stuff but still)
Heller sets a precedence, so it's not nothing.
