Gun Industry’s Sharing of Customer Data Slammed by U.S. Sen. Blumenthal
In response to a ProPublica investigation, Sen. Richard Blumenthal demanded answers from the gun industry about its “covert program” to collect information on gun owners for political purposes.ProPublica
Unpopular rulings on #elections, #abortion, presidential #immunity, #guns & other issues — as well as the #criminal cases against #Trump, which will likely move forward if he loses — have driven down public #trust in #SCOTUS & the #justice system.
That decline may be hard to reverse no matter which candidate prevails — especially if the courts play a role in deciding the winner.

On Tues, Americans will elect the next #POTUS & hundreds of #Congress members. In doing so, voters will also shape the 3rd branch: the #judiciary.
Federal #judges — whom the #president picks & the #Senate confirms — have become even more powerful in recent yrs as a #polarized Congress has failed to pass major #laws on many issues. As a result, the judiciary has shaped #policy on #abortion, #immigration, #guns, #VotingRights & more.

The story behind the #data sharing and its impact has never been revealed.
Until now.
