A week or two ago I was discussing with somebody the fact that law doesn't follow the ideal political arguments, but arguments that have a chance of winning.

Hunter Bidens lawyers chose to invoke the second amendment to try to get a law preventing drug users from buying guns nullified. One might criticize him for using an amendment his political faction would like to see repealed.
But the reality is, it's his lawyers job to win cases, not elections. If he wins on constitutional grounds, he wins. It doesn't matter if his faction agrees with it or not, that's the rules.
