"The Supreme Court shouldn't undertake political projects at the behest of dark money groups like the NRA. I'm joining @SenWhitehouse, @MazieHirono, @SenBlumenthal, & @SenGillibrand in urging SCOTUS not to deviate from judicial principles just to satisfy these groups' demands."

"Now the gun lobby, as part of its effort to get SCOTUS to undermine gun safety laws, is asking SCOTUS to ignore established judicial principles and issue a ruling in a case involving a gun regulation that no longer exists."

"This blatant attempt to urge SCOTUS to advance the gun lobby's agenda not only deviates from established judicial principles like mootness, but it occurs at a time when gun violence is devastating our communities."

"The brief we filed warns of the potential damage to the Court's legitimacy that would be done by ignoring these principles in order to deliver for partisan donors like the NRA. https://www.whitehouse.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/New%20York%20Rifle%20&%20Pistol%20Association%20v.%20New%20York%20(Whitehouse%20am"
