As the end of the term approaches the deluge of major cases has begun.  Two big cases - the eagerly awaited sequel to the Bruen case - Rahimi - features an orgy of originalist theorizing and opining.  Meanwhile, in Moore v. US - a case where Professor Amar and his team had an amicus brief - the tax power was upheld, but reading the opinion one might wonder if the same Court had sat for this case.  We take a look at the opinions and give our own take on these impactful cases, even as we brace ourselves for many more in the week or so to come.
