Montgomery County Bill 21-22

[Sunrise]

Fear not, we will post any order we get from the Court. I don't expect an order soon, given what the court said at the Feb. 6 hearing. Maybe by the end of the month, at best. The judge did say that he was focused on "getting it right" which certainly is something I would encourage. I get that the delay is maddening. But there is nothing I or anyone else can do about it at this stage. So, all I can do is suggest patience.

Appreciate the update! Thank you for standing up for our rights. Hope for good news soon.

I suspect one of the factors playing into his priorities is the fact that MC is not actively prosecuting people. It lessens, but does not eliminate the priority in which he needs to make a decision.

That's all part of the hearing we had. Those issues were fully briefed and argued

...and very well I might add.

If the county changes its collective mind and decides to start enforcing it, must they announce that in advance, or does the first arrest constitute an announcement?

There is no requirement to announce enforcement in advance. Given the arguments that they made in Court, I do not see them enforcing the law before the judge rules on the PI motion.

Thanks much. I understand them waiting for a ruling. I was just curious whether they had a notice requirement before commencing enforcement, or, more likely, their announcement will be in the form of an arrest of some poor sap.

Thanks. A *lot* of work and time went into that briefing and argument

Until they do

I'm sure it did and thank you for defending our rights.

I was very proud of you all. It was three against one and Mark did better than all of them.

Until they do

dont worry, the police will be the last to know.

 

[Reezie]

Until they do

and then get take their asses to court and all this shit gets thrown out all together

Quoted
CONCLUSION
A TRO and a preliminary injunction should be granted without delay.

That is standard boilerplate written at the end of all responses. It means nothing except that MSI believes a TRO and PI should be granted without delay.

 

[dblas]

Actually?! This is awesome news!

No, it's not, nothing has been issued or decided.

 

[dblas]

That looks like the text from one of MSI's briefs requesting the TRO/PI. Nothing new since Feb 6.

It is.

Nothing to get excited about.

Sorry to be Danny Downer.

Don't worry, you didn't rain on any parade I was having. I was just throwing that out so no one decided to open carry at some diner outside the county council building.

Any time now, Judge.....

Any time now, Judge.....

Day 84 of oppression...

 

[swinokur]

Someone postulated end of Feb.

So we’re getting close if true

 

[Sunrise]

Day 84 of oppression...

And counting.

Even though MoCo clearly outed itself and completely undermined its own arguments multiple times during the briefings/hearings, I'm preparing myself for disappointment given this Judge's allegiance to the "Party".

It'll be like Justice Roberts with Obamacare who called an audible and substituted an argument that was never made:

The Obamacare "Tax" That Chief Justice Roberts Invented Is Still Unconstitutional

Tax bills have to originate in the House, but Obamacare began in the Senate.

This Judge will just make up some crap that wasn't argued and punt it for Appeal.
