2d Amd Arms v City of Chicago


Recommended Posts

Court was interesting today for the challenge to the gun shop ban in Chicago.

 

· The judge opened op with having some thoughts about how to proceed. Later he made it clear that the case was put on hold while the Court of Appeals sorted out Ezell.

 

· The judge said he had read Ezell, and either implied thoroughly or a couple times.

 

· He said that anyone paying attention to Ezell’s oral arguments it was clear that a lot of guidance seemed to be on its way from the Court. And he wanted to give that Court time to act before hearing this case.

 

· He said the plaintiffs should file an amendment complaint that “tightens” up the facts they are pleading and issues they raise. It would be helpful to the court in deciding the case in a way that makes sense.

 

· He asked them to identify each specific section of the Ordinance they seek to challenge, by whom, on what grounds and the specific relief sought.

 

· He gave them three weeks to file an amended complaint. The City will reply by 8/28.

 

 

To the City:

 

· When a judge (the Ezell court) says your thumbing your nose at the Court, take note of it.

 

· You may want to think about if you really want to move to dismiss every count.

 

· Reevaluate the organizational standing arguments.

 

· Think seriously about whether you have grounds to diss each count.

 

· Made note about Easterbrook’s ruling on fees in McDonald and how the city has acted. Capitulating in light of judgment and modifying ordinances

 

· Judge says Ezell is a very important decision. He looks to other courts for their decisions, but when the 7th circuit says something and when the Supreme Court says something, it’s important for me to consider and look at.

 

· He also said that he could not remember any law professor using the Second and Amendment in the same sentence.

 

 

The city said it was interesting that something written in 1787 is now “new” in 2011.

 

Observations, the City’s legal team, two of them were very accommodating and humble. Not like Mara Gorges before.

 

The Judge was versed in Ezell and had spent some time studying it. He also took note of the way Easterbrook read them the riot act in the fees decision in McDonald. And that the Court had taken notice of the City thumbing their nose at the McDonald decision.

 

The judge wants an amended complaint cleaned up and this case is going forward. He seemed to admonish the City that their past absolute positions as in Ezell and McDonald didn’t seem like they were going to carry weight and that it was a new day.

 

I think he was actually hinting at the City that if they were going to change the ordinance, they should do so before the court rules. The Easterbrook comment seemed to be aimed at this.

Ever seen "The Final Countdown"? U.S.S. Nimitz sent through time warp to Dec 6, 1941. Thought that was a pretty good movie.

This reminds me of that cheesy 1980s band "Europe." Yeah, I grew up in the 80s.

 

Can you believe that has 3.5 million views??!!

 

 

Some time ago, when looking for extinction-level event video, I came across this one. It's pretty good for what it is. The music is a little trippy ... techno, or something. I don't know what they call the music type. It's nihilistic, but if a strike of that magnitude were to happen, there would be nothing to do but die. Mass extinction events have happened 5 times during the history of life on earth.

I've never seen that movie but it sounds like the inverse of The Philadelphia Experiment which I have seen . A naval ship transports from 1943 to 1984 during an experiment. I'll have to look for The Final Countdown.

First, Todd, thanks for your work.

 

California (CalGuns.net) is paying attention to us, nothing new, of course, but check this:

Todd's twitter-like report that started this thread is really great. Information-full and real-time. heck, I'm didn't study the exact timings, but his report was really good.

 

We harvested a very good crop in Ezell. We might harvest another good crop in 2nd Amd Arms.
