Washington Post: Gun Owners' Next Victory in D.C.

I find it odd that Henderson seems to always be on a 2A case panel.

 

[Peaceful John]

"To sum up, there is no dispute that the Constitution, case law and applicable statutes all establish that the District is not a State within the meaning of the Second Amendment. Under United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. at 178, the Second Amendment's declaration and guarantee that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" relates to the Militia of the States only. That the Second Amendment does not apply to the District, then, is, to me, an unavoidable conclusion."

Did anybody notice how Henderson explained Heller?

That sums up just how anti she is, and why we keep having problems at the DC Circuit

and if they don't enjoin immediately?

Alan Gura will send them another sternly worded letter.

I swear Gura could file a 28(j) informing about a SCOTUS ruling mooting the case, and it still wouldn't get that district court off its ass.

Look at how many "Supplementals" have been filed over the years on the Docket...

Maybe his wife is running a Weekend at Bernie's scam to collect his paychecks a while longer.

He's still putting out opinions http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=frederick+scullin&btnG=&hl=en&scisbd=2&as_sdt=6,49
unfortunately none are Palmer.

 

[swinokur]

check the link please. It takes me to Google search.

 

[Kharn]

As it should. Judge Scullin is the one currently sitting on Palmer and the search shows all of his opinions.

 

[swinokur]

oh ok got it

 

[press1280]

There was actually "some" activity by the judge last week in this case:

It took the judge a year and a half to rule on a motion by Gura to strike unauthorized memoranda. How bad is that?

 

[Southwest Chuck]

This has got to be some kind of record?
I counted 16 filings = NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY

 

[ryan_j]

They know they'll have to strike down the law. No other explanation.

Can they really just hold this forever?

I wonder if he would continue to hold even if for example Drake is taken and ruled upon by SCOTUS
