Man defends self in NYC, faces two dozen criminal charges

It's always been the predilections of the judges and not law that determines how the courts work.

And we can thank the SC for the 1833 Barron decision that allowed states to pass laws that violate the 2nd since the 2nd has never been fully incorporated (another lie) under the 14th. The courts should simply repudiate Barron and state that eh Bill of Rights, except for the 1st, bind all levels of government. That however would require the courts to give up power that the courts have stolen.
