They'd be demanding that you be remanded to Cook County Jail because of how dangerous you are and the banger who's been dinged for 20 felonies, including armed robbery and attempted murder, will get out on an NTA.

"Oh, we're gonna stay this because the government would be harmed.... The government says it needs more time...." Yeah no, the presumption that the government doesn't know exactly what it's doing needs to be abandoned. Courts always presume the government is acting in good faith when, in reality, it's in bad faith.

Won't save you from arrest but it might save you from an overzealous prosecutor who's looking for a conviction. I don't think they wanna play games with this one since they're already on notice it's unconstitutional as applied to the names plaintiffs. Or it might not but generally speaking they like to win and this is not a winner for them.

Nah. Government never gets sanctioned. It's an unwritten rule. Only private parties get sanctioned for conduct. Think of all the crap they have pulled and weren't even made to answer for it much less be sanctioned.

Just more proof that the government can do whatever in wants in court and worst that will happen is a tongue lashing. I watched the judge in that YSL case admonish the government for all kinds of conduct, then they just continue on, business as usual.

Nope they do not. This was a bridge too far for the state. They've gotten away with hysterical garbage in previous briefs but nothing like blaming a judge for a quadruple homicide by a convicted felon who was barred from even owning a gun. They just kept one-upping the hysteria until they ran into an immovable object. Sanction them (yes I realize I'm paying for it but a message must be sent).

Illinois facing possible sanctions over their motion that claims the judge's ruling caused that quadruple murder on the CTA.

I bet they have 5 on the merits. I mean they got 5 to dump Chevron (Roberts will always side with the majority in contentious cases so I don't even count him). But this case isn't fully briefed. I get why they don't take fully briefed cases, but... SCOTUS needs to start stepping in and spanking the circuits right off at the interlocutory phase or they'll keep playing games, dragging it out for who knows how long like CA4 has been doing with Bianchi. Oh well, I guess we just have to wait for the wheels of justice to slowly grind away while the People's Republic of Pritzkerstan takes a steamer on our civil rights. We'll win...eventually...I hope.

Not in today's orders list. What'd they do, relist it again and not update the docket?

Feels like they're waiting on Rahimi which will probably include some clarification on Bruen (it doesn't need more unless you're Frank Easterbrook and Diane Wood) and going to GVR Barnett with instructions to apply Bruen. There's my wild guess for the day.

I would like to see Thomas (because we all know he will write the majority opinion) call out Easterbrook and Wood by name and absolutely eviscerate Friedman and leave no room for interpretation or semantical games to make it unassailable. A guy can dream.

Or the Remington 870, Mossberg 500 variants, Benelli M4, all military variants, all dual use military and civilian. This is great. McGlynn is setting up CA7 to fail under its own legal reasoning with this one...if it doesn't get taken up by SCOTUS first. He practically spells it out in his order.

McGlynn looks to have found a way to use Easterbrook's logic to our benefit.... https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicycoalition/pages/6708/attachments/original/1708714599/2024.02.23_166_ORDER.pdf?1708714599

That would be Judge Berzon, adjunct professor of law at UC-San Francisco (leftist indoc camp), appointed by Clinton, was in majority for Peruta, also now has senior status so she's effectively retired and no longer gives an eff. This is an uphill battle to say the least. Six Justices, including Thomas, said that it the law infringes on the right and there is zero historical basis for such a law, it is unconstitutional. Simple as. No interest balancing.

Yep case is being held in abeyance, waiting for Duncan to be decided by the en banc court. Slays me they're playing games here. They expedited the appeal, expedited briefing, expedited orals, only to slam the brakes. This is a giant middle finger.
