lockman Posted October 20, 2011 at 08:21 PM Share Posted October 20, 2011 at 08:21 PM So now the Solicitor General is of the opinion that strict scrutiny applies only in the home. Since the reference in the Heller decision was an example, "such as in the home", then Mr. Solicitor please list all the other examples of places where strict scrutiny should apply? After all, "such as in the home" was only one such example. Or will he argue that in the home was the only place used as the example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm Posted October 20, 2011 at 09:23 PM Share Posted October 20, 2011 at 09:23 PM While it's not exactly what we want to hear, the Solicitor General's opinion could be used in our favor in Moore and Shepard. He seems to say that the circuit court tacitly agreed that the 2A applies outside the home, but that intermediate scrutiny applies. Illinois' complete ban outside the home cannot survive even intermediate scrutiny. I don't agree with him, but I think it could bolster our case.

stm Posted October 20, 2011 at 10:14 PM Share Posted October 20, 2011 at 10:14 PM I don't think its going to impact our cases negatively at all. First, this is only the Solicitor General's opinion, he's just a government lawyer, not a judge. Secondly, he admits that there is a 2A right outside the home, which is our argument in the Moore and Shepard cases. Lastly, he says it is subject to intermediate scrutiny. SCOTUS said in Heller that a complete ban cannot survive *any* level of scrutiny. We'd rather have strict scrutiny, but even under intermediate scrutiny, we should win. At least that's what Gura and our other attorneys are arguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law which led to the initial arrest is no longer in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
