“Convicted felon” Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict for illegal gun possession could be reversed if the Supreme Court comes to his rescue.
The high court is expected to issue a ruling on a major gun case this term that could provide a pathway for Democrat President Joe Biden’s son to appeal, CNN reported.
It’s an ironic possibility since President Biden has furiously attacked the conservative court as reactionary and extreme.
Specifically, Biden has cited the Supreme Court’s rulings on guns and abortion.
The Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in Bruen upended gun control regimes nationwide by establishing a new test.
Namely, gun restrictions must be rooted in the nation’s “historic tradition.”
In the case US v. Daniels, an appeals court last year cited Bruen to rule that a federal ban on drug addicts owning guns cannot stand.
However, the ruling did not impact Hunter Biden’s trial.
Hunter’s case fell under the jurisdiction of a different appeals court.
Nevertheless, Hunter Biden’s lawyers cited Bruen while trying to have the case dismissed.
The judge rejected Biden’s Second Amendment challenges.
As a result, Hunter Biden was found guilty on three felony counts.
During the brief trial, jurors were shown evidence of his drug abuse.
But that’s not the end of the story.
