I had hopes, but now it is clear to even me that they are not going to decide the Kachalsky case this term.

Gura's writing acknowledged that and may have even cemented the timing as next term.

The week that "Heller" was released, the SCOTUS was releasing rulings and every day public opinion of the court dropped.

When they released "Heller" positive public opinion soared 10 percent in one day.

If the court ruled in favor of Gay Marriage on one day, a positive pro gun ruling released the next day would appease many conservatives.

Nicki
I think you've missed that the Supreme Court's term runs from October to June of each year, they release the big cases in the last week of June before they go on their summer break. That is why Heller was among several other gigantic rulings that week, McDonald was the same, again, the last week of the term. Its almost April, there is no way Kachalsky could be considered this term, and given the implications of the questions presented, it will be held for the last week of next term.

Gura's replies are always tasty...this one seemed a bit spicier than normal.

A bit of simmering irritation, with a touch of righteousness, and a whole
bunch of delicious Truth.

Are you seriously that blind to the difference, can you not see how just plain barbaric that is to most of the population?

Your attitude is typical of why the Republicans are losing appeal.
Well...... Touchy arent ya?!?!?!?!?!


Seeing as how I've worked a number of undesirable, underpaid crap jobs throughout the years....

I spent a lot of time working side by side with mek suckans and latinos.

I tend to think I understand quite a bit about it....

We have what some people call "traditionals". These are the HARD WORKING LAW ABIDING scraping every penny to get their kids through school to have a better life.

I knew 1, that came here illegally twice. And is currently here legally. His children were then born here legally as well. He is a very hard working, honest man that tries his best to instill the same qualities in his children.

Then you have the 'others'.... A LOT of them..... Who let their kids run rampant and get into illegal activity, gangs, and what not.

Unfortunately, there arent many Traditionals, but there are a LOT of 'others'.

I very highly respect the Traditionals. The others need to be lead out of my country at gun point.

This is my favorite part of the brief.
"The only thing worse than explicitly refusing to enforce an enumerated constitutional right would be to declare a right “fundamental” while standing aside as lower courts render it worthless. Few outcomes could promote as much cynicism about our legal system. If this Court is unprepared to overrule Heller, it should reverse decisions such as that entered by the lower court here."

Traditionally, how long does it usually take for the supreme court to grant or deny cert after the final reply? 60 days?

Yes, poke the SCOTUS tiger with a stick. If they bite it will be interesting and quite possibly productive for our rights. One time when "cynicism" is actually a good thing. Go team Gura!

Yes, really. There's simply nothing to be gained by fighting that stuff here in the PRK. The ONLY way to win the fight is in SCOTUS. That's where Our Hero shines.

Patience is a virtue

The courts in the 9th circus tend to have a uncanny ability to weasle their way around cases ruling and remanding back to a lower court or finding a reason to delay upon delay. other circuit courts seem to be interested in at least ruling on the 2nd allowing ti to at least be challenged in a timely fashion ...... no matter what SCOTUS applies universally so relief will come to CA over time remember you've only had this recognized individual right for a few years and each of these challenges asking for specific clearification takes time to find the right case and structure the right question and get it througha court system that wont delay or claim no standing.

It's on the conference schedule for April 12th, I expect a decision on April 15th(next business day). It's possible though it gets relisted and then will delay a week or 2 till the next conference date.
It won't be 60 days, barring highly unusual events.

I love his style: cogent, concise, and compelling. And SCOTUS listens, but the PRK coud give a d@mn if and SCOTUS has done NOTHING about the PRK's refusals. That's why I doubted the "everywhere" and now CO, NJ, and NY have joined not everywhere land. The big wins of McDonald and Heller have done nothing for us in the PRK ruled by the Caliban, in fact things have been getting worse since them.

I understand patience is important. I will keep fighting (not fighting will hasten our right's demise), but if the onslaught continues apace while relief is non-existent, our position will be completely overrun before any relief comes. At this glacial pace, we'll have completely lost our right and all of our guns and ammo before any relief comes and it will come to our grandchildren when there are no guns for them to inherit making the victory moot.

As a reminder to all, this matter is not a California only issue. It is a national battle and the best overall cases, that if won will impact this state as well, are from back East. And look how far we've come: Kachalsky is scheduled for an April 12 cert conference; orals are done in Piszozatoksi; Wollard and (possibly) Moore are in play. There are four sound cases, all similar in a material way, argued on our behalf by the best in the field. We are at the end game. The liberals have to win all; we have only to win one and the world shifts and takes California with it. As our friends say, this being Passover week, "Next year in Jerusalem!"

Yes. I had thought that getting 'outside the home' recognized by the Circuits would do the trick. But that the 2nd Circuit would acknowledge 'outside the home,' while at the same time Ruling that anything less than strict scrutiny could be applied to a Right that is fundamental to American jurisprudence really surprised me.

Still, you are correct. McDonald didn't make comments about the 2A being fundamental. It was the very basis of the Ruling. So, I'm confident that the Heller 5 won't let that nonsense stand. Add in that 'outside the home' seems to be conceded & the road to (imminent) victory is before us. Every trick used by the anti-Constitutionalists is based on two false beliefs: Heller only applied to in the home & strict scrutiny isn't required. With both of those gone, there's really nothing in the way of freedom.

Of course, I've been wrong before, so keep that in mind.

Gura was as always absolutely brilliant. It's pretty obvious that he's getting frustrated with with SCOTUS' failure to slap down the ongoing and I think worsening judicial rebellion. I'm still not willing to bet so much as tomorrow's lunch money that SCOTUS has the will to grant cert and if not now then probably not for years. In my opinion that's why he felt that he had to rub their judicial noses in the fact that courts all over the country are thumbing their noses and waving their middle fingers at the Supreme Court and the justices.

The extra scary part is that if the Supreme Court doesn't put down the rebellion soon then you can count on lower courts to see that as a license to start interpreting Heller more and more narrowly until it's in the home only and then only on every 3rd February 29th and only while loaded with pixie dust bullets factory engraved with the owner's name and picture.

Excellent conclusion saying to the Court it is your duty to grant the Cert petition:

"The only thing worse than explicitly refusing to enforce an enumerated constitutional right would be to declare a right “fundamental” while standing aside as lower courts render it worthless. Few outcomes could promote as much cynicism about our legal system. If this Court is unprepared to overrule Heller, it should reverse decisions such as that entered by the lower court here."

Kachalsky has made SCOTUSBlog's Petitions We're Watching list for next Friday and was the Petition of the Day for 1 April. Both are good signs.

Yeah, that's great to see! Most of the other issues they have on their watchlist are not as weighty and none deal with enumerated rights so directly. Looking at the other cases there, I can't see how they could ignore Kachalsky. Unless something happens to one of our Five, I'm quite certain we will get a good ruling on this.

Assuming SCOTUS does the right thing, this would clarify that "bear" means "carry," thus striking down "may issue" of carry permits in the absence of legal open carry.

Nothing directly. However it shows the court watchers believe it'll get cert.

Counting down the days until the conference and hopefully the Cert grant. Watching this like a hawk. Ifcourt decides this case in our favor then may issue is gone and carry rights are recognized and a clearly and stronger 2A will emerge.

A "win" won't be useful if it's a narrow shall-issue/carry ruling. Plenty of ways to neuter a shall-issue regime (most commonly by having lots of prohibited places, high fees, training requirements, limited times and places to apply, and/or too-frequent renewals), so I expect we will spend many more years in litigation.
