press1280 Posted May 12, 2018 at 11:09 PM Share Posted May 12, 2018 at 11:09 PM Did you mean to say Manion and Bauer? They were on the original panel with Posner.Yes, you're right. Don't know why I kept thinking Williams was on that panel.Bauer is pretty old too (almost 92). I hope he decides to retire so we can get him replaced with Sykes or Kanne.

St. Eve issued this decision upholding the Federal Gun-Free School Zone sections 18 U.S.C. § 922(q)(2)(A) and 18 U.S.C § 922(a)(4). Scudder hasn't been a judge but according to this article, both "Durbin and Duckworth have... returned their blue slips, supporting the nominations of Scudder and St. Eve." Sorry guys but you just got screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdpntc Posted May 15, 2018 at 03:21 AM Share Posted May 15, 2018 at 03:21 AM Given that I am a sitting District Court judge and a nominee for the Seventh Circuit, it would be inappropriate for me to give my personal opinion on the Heller opinion. It is binding precedent and I will apply it. Amy St Eve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, her understanding of the Second Amendment conflicts with the Heller and McDonald decisions. One would think with all of the lawyers either holding office in the Senate or their staff attorneys would have found that decision of hers given it took me all of about 2 seconds to find it.

press1280 Posted May 16, 2018 at 10:01 PM Share Posted May 16, 2018 at 10:01 PM While nothing is guaranteed of course, I think there's a big gap between the GFSZ act and a total carry ban for residents of 45 states. Having Trump nominees is certainly better than Obama nominees.The blue slips don't mean much in the immediate case if the judge has no 2A cases to speak of.

Raw Power Posted July 1, 2018 at 02:20 PM Share Posted July 1, 2018 at 02:20 PM While this doesn't have direct positive benefit for me, I hope this moves along soon, and hope that it will find yet another victory against the anti-gunner pols in our part of the state.

kwc Posted July 11, 2018 at 11:04 PM Share Posted July 11, 2018 at 11:04 PM IIRC there were a good 40-50 seats during the preliminary injunction oral arguments--4 or 5 rows of benches on either side. This will be held in the same courtroom. "Moms" and "Everytown" filed amicus briefs so who knows how many seats they'll fill, if this gets much of their attention.

Gamma Posted July 11, 2018 at 11:48 PM Share Posted July 11, 2018 at 11:48 PM Hopefully Judge Sykes will be on the panel. I so enjoyed listening to her demolish Chicago's attorney during oral argument in some previous case (one of the Ezell cases I think), if they still publish audio.

kwc Posted September 11, 2018 at 07:02 PM Share Posted September 11, 2018 at 07:02 PM I just confirmed my recollection--according to the Clerk's office, we CAN have phones in the courtroom if they are on "silent." IMHO it's probably best to turn them off to be absolutely sure they don't ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Posted September 11, 2018 at 07:29 PM Share Posted September 11, 2018 at 07:29 PM In case anybody is keeping score, the Trump appointees on this Court are as follows: Amy Coney BarrettMichael B. BrennanMichael Y. ScudderAmy J. St. Eve The G.W. Bush appointed Diane S. Sykes; G.H.W. Bush appointed Ilana Rovner; Ronald Reagan appointed Joel Martin Flaum, Frank H. Easterbrook, Michael Stephen Kanne, Kenneth Francis Ripple, and Daniel Anthony Manion. William Joseph Bauer was appointed by Ford. Bauer, Ripple, and Manion has senior status. The remaining judges, Diane Wood and David Hamilton, were appointed by Clinton and Obama respectively. Easterbrook is the author of the atrocious decision in Friedman v. Highland Park, to which Manion wrote a blistering dissent. The third judge in that appeal is no longer on the Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamma Posted September 13, 2018 at 07:14 AM Share Posted September 13, 2018 at 07:14 AM If they lose they'll certainly ask for en banc. I suspect that they won't appeal to SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
