People can read about the weird Brown case where the ruling applied to only person. I wonder if Caulkins case goes the same way, where it only applies to him and his group. Caulkins case doesn’t have any TRO’s, I wonder if they will ask for one while the courts thinks about how to dodge this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumak_from_arfcom Posted March 7, 2023 at 04:25 AM Share Posted March 7, 2023 at 04:25 AM Interesting I thought I read in one of the news reports that Kwame said he was confident the court was going to hear his appeal on Monday. There must be some discussion going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tvandermyde Posted March 7, 2023 at 04:26 AM Share Posted March 7, 2023 at 04:26 AM the court heard the motion and issued an order: Defendants opening brief due 3/20 Plaintiff response due 4/13 Defendants response due 4/27 Oral Arguments second week of May no date. So we should have Duncan, Miller, Rhode and Bianchi by then as well as maybe a PI in our case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTriple Posted March 8, 2023 at 07:24 PM Share Posted March 8, 2023 at 07:24 PM To get back on topic, it would seem that there could be a decision (and even a preliminary injunction) in Barnett before the State Supreme Court has rendered a decision, with the possibility of a preliminary injunction long before oral arguments are even scheduled. I'm still wondering why McGlynn hasn't issued an injunction yet, but I suspect it has to do with the briefing schedule. Can anyone clarify this?

Tvandermyde Posted March 9, 2023 at 05:41 PM Share Posted March 9, 2023 at 05:41 PM I see ISRA is saying a TRO was issued in the case. Has anyone seen said TRO from the Judge? "In the Macon County assault weapons case, Caulkins et al v J.B.Pritzker et al, the new law has been ruled unconstitutional by Judge Rodney Forbes. Judge Forbes has issued a temporary restraining order stopping the gun ban and registry. The TRO covers all citizens in the State of Illinois, not just the named plaintiffs. This case will go directly to the Illinois Supreme Court and expected to be heard in May." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumak_from_arfcom Posted March 9, 2023 at 08:24 PM Share Posted March 9, 2023 at 08:24 PM So Caulkins made the comment in the video that the AG had to state that the law is no longer valid in order to make this type of appeal to the IL Supreme Court. IANAL, Is that a part of the process in filing that appeal to the supreme court? If so, then the ILSP should not be enforcing the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted March 9, 2023 at 10:36 PM Share Posted March 9, 2023 at 10:36 PM (edited) There is no need for a TRO from the same court has already ruled it unconstitutional as the runing of unconstitutional entirely moots the laws enforcement as if if never existed, the only question is who does that unconstitutional ruling apply to. At the very least it applies to every listed plaintiffs, until the IL Supreme Court stays that ruling or rules otherwise. I would argue that it 'should' apply to all in the state, but I'm not familar with how far the lower courts 'jurisdiction' extends in constitutional applications across the counties and state overall, I would assume it has to also at least apply to the entire county or whatever jurisidication that judge resides over, over and above the listed plaintiffs that is shoudl absolutely apply to...

Euler Posted March 10, 2023 at 03:49 AM Share Posted March 10, 2023 at 03:49 AM ISRA ISRA said: ... From the Law Firm of DAVID G. SIGALE, P.C. "After reviewing with counsel the Macon County Circuit Court's decision, based on how the decision is not explicitly limited to one named person or group of persons and based on how the Opinion clearly finds the challenged law unconstitutional on a facial basis as opposed to being unconstitutional as-applied to any particular person or persons, the ISRA believes that the Macon County decision is meant to be read to apply to all persons in the State. We acknowledge that the language therein also seems aimed towards facilitating an Illinois Supreme Court review, and we are confident that the skillful attorneys representing the plaintiffs will successfully present their arguments to that Court at the appropriate time." ... It seems that we can point to Sigale as the source of Pearson's (mis)information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly B. Posted March 10, 2023 at 05:14 AM Share Posted March 10, 2023 at 05:14 AM There is an opinion now that the judge made his final ruling finding the two sections banning firearms and magazines facially unconstitutional rather than as applied to the plaintiffs. That would lead one to think the ruling is effective throughout the state. However, that doesn't seem to be clear to everyone. So, that leaves me concerned, not so much for individuals but for our firearm dealers whose licenses can be revoked by the state in the midst of this confusion.

Unless we have an actual signed order as evidence I think this only add’s to the confusion. I think we should be concerned for ALL , purchasers AND FFL’s, I’m sure the buyers and thinking the FFL’s are uninformed, and the FFL’s are thinking the buyers are uninformed, leading to bad business relationships leading to frustration all around. Perhaps we should leave it as applied to the plaintiffs only until there is an actual PDF with words of the order AND a judge’s signature in the case record.

Tvandermyde Posted March 10, 2023 at 02:15 PM Share Posted March 10, 2023 at 02:15 PM my phone started blowing up after Pearson's pronouncements. Dealers are confused and I don't see ISRA or Segale offering free representation and reparations for being shutdown when ISP or ATF claim the dealer acted illegally. I know my club raised issues with ISRA and they were seeking clarification, so the above statement appears to have came about after the publication and people questioned it. All this does is add to the confusion. April 12th can't get here fast enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
