The Elephant in the Room

- 'A Well-regulated Militia'

Bag om The Elephant in the Room

An associate justice of the Supreme Court died on the eve of a challenge to the standing interpretation of the Second Amendment. President Gloria Addison sought a replacement who shared her view of the amendment. She believed she had found the right man in Randolph Cavendish of Rhode Island, although many considered him an independent-minded jurist. Supporters of the amendment's 'individual right' clause concluded the president wanted Cavendish on the Court to restrict gun ownership, and they conspired to stop her. Addison proved to be wrong about Justice Cavendish. His political philosophy proved more important to him than being the White House's man on the court. Cavendish's seeming betrayal of the president left her with options she couldn't have imagined when her political career began in a small Indiana town. How far would she go to get what she wanted? And how far her enemies? In the ongoing struggle over gun rights no one was safe, not the president, not Justice Cavendish, and not Congress.
