Conservative CNN Analyst Calls on SCOTUS to Overturn ‘Wholly Unconstitutional’ Law Hunter Biden Broke

Conservative CNN contributor Shermichael Singleton called on the Supreme Court to overturn the “wholly unconstitutional” law Hunter Biden was found guilty of breaking on Tuesday, even going so far as to argue that those who are “authentically conservative” should be hoping that he is spared jailtime.

On Tuesday morning, Biden was found guilty of making two false statements in the process of obtaining a firearm and then for illegally possessing that same weapon. In a segment on CNN News Central, host Brianna Keilar asked Singleton to weigh in on what his sentence should look like.

“I wonder how you think Republicans are going to respond if Hunter Biden does not, as expected, get jail time?” she inquired.

“I mean, if they are authentically conservative, they would agree that he should not get any jail time here,” said Singleton, who went on to tout his pro-Second Amendment bona fides. “I don’t think this case should have ever been brought, to tell you the truth, Brianna.”

He continued:

I think if he does appeal this case, I hope it goes up to the Supreme Court. I would love for SCOTUS to have a say on this, hopefully they overturn it.

I think about the many examples of men of color — there are three at this table — who have been pulled over by a police officer. The police says, “Well, we smell marijuana, get out of the car.” You’re all of a sudden arrested. Then they find a gun, so a simple charge of possession of marijuana now becomes a felony charge. Many of those men are sitting in jail because the law states that you cannot use a controlled substance and be in ownership of a firearm.

I vehemently disagree with that. I think you should be able to own a gun. A lot of people out there use marijuana for whatever purposes, a lot of veterans use marijuana for PTSD purposes. Should they not have the right to own a firearm for protective purposes? I think they should. I think most Americans would agree, that they should. So the politics aside from here, I think this is wholly unconstitutional. And I do hope SCOTUS has the final say.
