This one will be fun to watch

Hawaii's Supreme Court argues that the "spirit of aloha" overrides the Second Amendment of the Constitution, as well as decisions like Heller, MacDonald, and the like.  My response is first that I'd expect that the Supreme Court will slap them down by at least a 6-3 margin (hopefully 9-0) under the Supremacy Clause, and that it's a pity that the Supreme Court doesn't have authority to administer a "Spirit of Disbarment" to Hawaii's "justices" and Attorney General.  There are things in the law that can reasonably be debated, but the Supremacy Clause is really not among them, and those who argue or rule otherwise really ought to removed altogether, and permanently, from the practice of law.
