I think he wants to argue that "bear" means only in relation to the organized militia.
Well, duh. I get that but who is this character with the chutzpah to request oral argument time? What is corpus linguistics?

The Sheldon Whitehouse brief is a complete political attack on the court. Is he trying to piss off the court?
NYC is in need of a Depends change.Who the *** is Neal Goldfarb and why is he requesting oral argument??
What the *** is this gobbledygook Corpus Linguistics?
I see:
... for 10 minutes of oral argument. This will be good!

Oh, jebus the National Education Association has filed an amicus brief.
Did the Amicus brief from former Commissioner of the New York City Police Department William J. Bratton include information as to why "Former Police Officers and Ex-Brooklyn Assistant DA Arrested in NYPD Gun License Bribery Scandal" was not a threat to public safety by "knowingly and willfully" putting 100+ illegally owned firearms in the public? Which also caused Sir Bratton to hastily retire from the NYPD.Some of these briefs. Dang.
Former NYC police chief argues that it's reasonable to prevent people from possessing (even at home!) let alone carrying weapons for self defense because:
1) NYC is really crowded. Uniquely so. A gun in NYC is much more dangerous than, say, my gun when I get into an elevator at capacity in West Virginia. Because NYC is the center of the universe and everything is always more there.
2) Even cops have to fire lots of shots to subdue somebody, and normal people will be dangerous if they do that.
3) Even suicides could get the neighbor shot.
4) Heller allows regulations on possessing guns in "sensitive places" (such as courtrooms). The ex-PoPo-chief asserts that all of New York City is just such a sensitive place.
5) ... and more such silliness.
Most importantly: the current draconian laws prevent confrontations on the street. I'm sure he's convinced that criminals also obey the current laws, as they always do. Oh, and this case risks overturning Heller. It's so good of him to look out for Heller for us!
I am sorry but are you really unaware that the Democrats' position is that Heller is illegitimate decision? A huge number of them don't just say Heller was wrong, but that it was illegitimate.
If a Democrat wins the White House, given Clarence Thomas' issues with obesity there is a better than even chance that a Democrat will be replacing RBG and Thomas. This will result in a total reversal of Heller at the earliest moment. Have you heard any national Democratic candidate say they support Heller?
In Blue states this will result in a massive increase in gun control. People who assert that today's gun control in Maryaland is as bad as it can get, or that Democrats and Republican elected officials or judges appointed by them "are the same" on 2A don't understand fck all about reality or what is coming the moment the Democrats change just one vote on Scotus. The target is Australia style gun control, no semi auto of any kind, no pistol of any kind, and essentially "may issue" -- prove a need -- for even a break action shotgun. There are a dozen classes of gun laws that can be passed on the way to that making gun ownership an expensive and liability filled nightmare
Is there a timeline or deadline on this lawsuit currently? and time-frame for Trump to be able to get a Justice appointed?
Senate Democraps threatened the Supreme Court on this case. Stating to heal themselves or they will be restructured.
To me that says drop this case or else we will stack it once we take the Senate and the White House
They would anyway, irregardless of the outcome of this case.
The Sheldon Whitehouse brief is a complete political attack on the court. Is he trying to piss off the court?
Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future.
The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied.
Truth. 2A is only one of their goals.
