that's great I wonder what kcbrown will have to say about this
Is that creaking and cracking sound I hear a circuit SPLIT?
Read it...I'm halfway through and it's extraordinary how the judges take to task prior courts' reasoning.
1.) ARs are commonly possessed and therefore subject to strict scrutiny.
2.) Other courts made up a reasoning that ARs are "unusually dangerous"
3.) Heller affirms without a doubt that you can't ban entire categories of commonly possessed weapons.
4.) One of many great quotes "under the Seventh Circuit’s view, a significant restriction on a fundamental right might be justified by benefits that are quite literally imagined into existence."
...still reading and loving it...
How is Judge King's position even supportable?In a strongly worded dissent, Judge Robert B. King wrote: “Let’s be real: The assault weapons banned by Maryland’s [law] are exceptionally lethal weapons of war” and as such, he said, not constitutionally protected.
Pointed out by someone else:
Appeals court decision casts doubt on Maryland’s assault weapons ban
How is Judge King's position even supportable?
Especially since Chief Judge Traxler was appointed by a Democrat (Pres. Clinton).
No, the AG is independently elected.
Better question...can the Gov file a amicus in opposition to the AG office in whole or part..
If he pays for his own lawyer.
