Silvester v. Kamala Harris CA 10 Day Wait

LAWSUIT UPDATE

Our attorneys will be arguing two important civil rights cases TOMORROW at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

The Court decided that the same panel (made up of Chief Judge Thomas and Circuit Judges Schroeder and Nguyen) would hear both cases on the same day -- one right after the other.

Silvester v. Harris is a Second Amendment challenge to California's 10-day waiting period. (The District Court previously ruled in our favor following a 3-day bench trial.)

Tracy Rifle and Pistol v. Harris challenges California's ban on some truthful, non misleading handgun-related speech by firearms dealers -- what we believe is a violation of First Amendment rights.

I agree that with the makeup of the court this is just going through the motions of a denial.

This is why I would make the worst attorney. I would see that panel of judges and my opening argument would be, with this current make up of judges, I know they wont have an open mind and thus this case doesn't have a fair shot so, I wont even bother. have a nice day and see you all later

Ain't the nutty Ninth the most overturned appellate court in the country?

“This effort to chill our right to the First Amendment is critical to what the left’s whole agenda is,” Mark Holden, the general counsel for Koch Industries, told The Daily Signal in an interview. “They talk about getting big money out of politics, but what they really mean is going after speech and activity they disagree with, made by groups they disagree with.”

On April 21, U.S. District Judge Manuel Real found that Americans for Prosperity, which was founded by Charles and David Koch, does not have to submit to Attorney General Kamala Harris the names and addresses of its donors who have spent more than $5,000.

“The bottom line is, over the last six years we have seen a war on speech,” Holden said. “We are even seeing it on climate change, where we see the use of threats and force by law enforcement to silence groups they don’t agree with. This should not be a partisan issue. It’s just free speech.”

IMO if they did a cert before SCOTUS it would not be heard at all. I think that the only way they would take it is if SCOTUS ruled on a similar case where it did violate 2A the waiting time.
