    Supreme Court Takes Eight Cases, but Doesn’t Act on Some Big Ones

    If the Supreme Court is to hear an unusually large number of pending petitions on significant issues, it will have to act soon.

    By Adam Liptak



        Jan. 11, 2019


    WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court added eight cases to its docket on Friday, including ones on how gun laws apply to undocumented immigrants and whether the police may have blood drawn from unconscious motorists suspected of drunken driving.

    The court took no action on an unusually large number of pending petitions on significant issues, including President Trump’s efforts to shut down a program that shields some 700,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation and to bar most transgender people from military service.

...About a year after he left school, Mr. Rehaif went to a shooting range, rented a gun and bought ammunition. Six days later, a worker at a hotel where was staying told the authorities that he had been acting suspiciously. When he was questioned by an F.B.I. agent, Mr. Rehaif admitted to visiting the firing range. He allowed a search of his room, which turned up the remaining ammunition.

Mr. Rehaif was charged with violating a federal law that makes it a crime for people “illegally or unlawfully in the United States” to possess “any firearm or ammunition.” Another provision of the law says that violations of it must be made knowingly. Mr. Rehaif was convicted and sentenced to a 18 months in prison....

Interesting.  What other items from the Bill of Rights can be refused illegal aliens?  Unreasonable searches and seizures?  Double jeopardy?  Due process?  Public trial?

The 'due process' here is the law itself, passed and enacted by the same legislative process that bans automatic weapons, flame throwers, and RPGs.  Not sure what your 'double jeopardy' argument is here.  As for the defendant, his argument was that he didn't know he was in the country illegally even though he knew his F-1 visa had expired.  He offered the baby-sitter defense that it was the government's responsibility to notify him again after his visa expired that his status was now 'illegal'.

Sorry, not buying that, and neither did the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

You missed my point.  If they can write a law that says the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to illegal aliens, how about a law that says neither does the rest of the the constitutional rights.
