This video analyzes the Supreme Court case United States v. Rahimi, which challenges the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), prohibiting individuals under domestic violence protection orders from possessing firearms. The analysis focuses on predictions based on oral arguments, particularly the questions posed by justices, and suggests the Court will likely issue a narrow ruling focused solely on the constitutionality of disarming individuals under such orders, rather than broader implications for red flag laws or procedural due process. The prediction is for the government to prevail, with a narrow opinion authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, upholding the statute based on a dangerousness standard with historical analogues.
