Illinois should have a world class soccer team given all the can-kicking that happens here.

[yurimodin]

just in time to kick it down the road at Christmas.

[ragsbo]

The state knows it has a losing case but as long as they can get extensions, why worry about it! 

[mab22]

They will get more extensions as Christmas is 7 days later, and New Years Eve is 14 days later, they just won't have the time to prepare with all the holiday stuff going on.

They won't be able to get together until after Valentines day at the soonest as they have to have time to recover from the holiday backlogs. 
Your tax money hard at work...

Delays are almost as good as winning the cases, this is why we need a stay on all these unconstitutional laws until they have been ran through the whole courts system. Then the state would be in a hurry to get it done.

I wish my customers allowed me to just keep pushing due dates back over and over and over.  .Gov is the worst run business on the planet.

That’s because it’s OPM, Other Peoples Money. If their paychecks depended upon efficiency, like a regular business entity, that would matter, until then….”Good enough for government work.” (Look! the money fairy just keeps delivering)

[Dumak_from_arfcom]

Wait... don't we want this case stayed so that Barnett remains the lead case going forward?

 

I think we do. 

 

  

[Euler]

On June 12, Bevis submitted a joint status report, which states that a ruling on Barnett is still pending in the 7th Circuit and requests a continuation of the stay in this case accordingly.

[Glock43]

I couldn’t resist…

[Yeti]

I’ll second that Glock43, appreciate all the updates and perspective Euler.  Thank you!

On July 13, the judge ordered parties to file a joint status report within 10 days of a decision in Barnett or by November 13, whichever is earlier.

If Barnett petitions the Supreme Court, the circuit court will delay notification to the district court.

NSSF says they plan to do that:

 

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is disappointed by the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Barnett v. Raoul. NSSF respectfully disagrees with the Court’s decision to reverse and remand a lower court’s ruling ...

 

NSSF is a plaintiff in this case and plans on filing a cert petition with the U.S. Supreme Court.

On July 16, Bevis filed a motion to stay the case pending a Supreme Court opinion in Viramontes.

[Euler]

On July 20, the judge granted the motion to stay pending an opinion in Viramontes and ordered parties to file a joint status report within 10 days of the disposition of Viramontes or November 13, whichever is earlier.

November 13 will be earlier. The Supreme Court won't even have heard Viramontes by November 13.

Supreme Court shouldn't even have to hear it to write the option, I hope they are working on writing already
