The state filed a motion to stay Shepard pending Moore at the appellate level. We objected to it. I just received word the state's motion was denied. Additionally, We filed a motion to have the two cases combined and it was granted we will now be heard with Moore we have filed our brief in the appeal and await the state's response
Good news all the way around
Now back to my regularlly scheduled vacation. . .

While a 9 mm or .40 caliber bullet may or may not expand, it is an undeniable fact that a .45 caliber bullet will never shrink.

Denying the states motion means we dont get put on hold
Combining the cases means they will be heard together with devided time at orals more than likely
It also means that despite the lateness of our ruling we are not behind Moore we are starting at the appellate level at the same time neither case is in front of the other. A ruling on either will be a ruling for both and we are closer to SCOTUS no matter who looses there will be an appeal unless we were to win the appeal and the AG decided not to fight it any longer

I'm not saying that it's the RIGHT call. I'm saying that I don't understand the law so I don't know why this is a good or bad thing. It's a question out of ignorance not out of debate.

And the question that shall eventually end up at the Supreme Court is this:
Does "the right of the people to keep and bear arms", as stated in the constitution, mean that "the people have the right to bear arms?" Remember ... the "keep" part of the guarantee has now (finally) been affirmed. Next up is affirmation of the "bear" part of the guarantee. Heller made it clear that the second amendment protects two rights ... the right to keep, and the right to bear, arms.

Actually, does thw right to bear arms extend outside one's home and into public places.
As to why this is good, some feel that Mary Shepard is a better platiff with a better set of facts. More sympathetic in the eyes of the court

This is a really good deal... The cases are similar issues with the defendant, Madigan, the same in both cases.
You must realize a lot can hang on this. If the 7th reaches out to remove a complete ban on the public carry arms, similar to North Carolina, Maryland and couple other cases last month there is the potential real explosive decompression of the Chicago Machine's bubbles and power..... Almost makes you drool to dream about that... However coming back to reality we will just have to wait and see what transpires....... Some real possibilities though...

I feel that this is the best case scenario. There is no need to argue 2 cases in the same circuit. If there are 2 in CA7, putting SAF legal expertise with the very sympathetic plaintiff of Ms Sheppard seems like a Perfect Storm! I'm positive with this as well.
The penultimate goal is a persuasive Circuit Split for SCOTUS.

Issue that is being overlooked here, is that the SAF lawyers & the NRA lawyers don't really get along.
Hopefully they can bury the hatchet.

What is the anticipated time-line for the consolidated case as it moves forward?
Meaning.... how long before the case is heard?
How long before we have a ruling?
How does this proceed from here?
If we lose at the 7th Circuit level, I know we would appeal, so long as the current SCOTUS remained.
If Chicago/Illinois loses do you think they would push it to SCOTUS or just let it go, since Illinois is the only state with this problem?

My guess is a decision from the 7th in 2014, and case is appealed to SCOTUS no matter who prevails.

Both SAF and NRA have filed their briefs. Now we will see how incompetent the AGs attorneys are. They took for ever answering the complainta and asked for more time. But they were quick to file a notice of supplimental authority when another case in another state went their way.

Remember the 1991 Luby Cafeteria Massacre of the Unarmed (Kileen, Texas before Texas Concealed Carry) Do we need 23 people to die in a similar incident before we're allowed effective self defense?
