Seems like most of the people who were there said the focus was on mootness issue. 45 min of the hour or so spent on that. Also for those reporters who were there and guessing, that Roberts may side with liberal justices on case being moot. No bueno.

That doesn't mean anything. Many times these justices play devils advocate and probe arguments from other perspectives. If the case proceeds they will have to weigh on gun rights outside the home.

I just hope they determine the case is not moot and will proceed. For the first hearing they were expected to discuss mootness, that doesn't come as a surprise.

if Justice Roberts does swing this left Justice Ginsburg can't leave the bench soon enough..I have a feeling Roberts will morph into a complete Souter 2.0

They did spend a lot of time on mootness.

NYC got some tough 2A questions from Alito.

If this was a commerce case, why hold all the other 2A cases?

My optimistic appraisal is that we will get a 2A ruling.

Even without $ damages, the plaintiffs still did not get what they asked for regarding transportation.

Mootness is tricky here, even the US Solicitor General concluded the case was not moot on very very thin ground.

The issue is: what happens this Friday with the other half dozen cases being held on the docket.

I dont trust Roberts . Obama found stuff about his illegal adoptions during Obamacare and the left will hold that hammer over him until the day he leaves.
if they are leaning towards mooting the case look for Rogers,Cheeseman & Gould to get combined and granted cert at the next conference.

At the October conference the court decided to hear the "Mootness" arguments today along with the case so the "Moot" question has not been decided.

Got it, thanks.

I just finished watching Chuck Michel live FB debrief and it seems to him that the court is divided and its up to Roberts to vote if its moot or not. I do not trust Roberts as far as I can throw him ...

Either way, Roberts needs to step down. He’s a liability.

I think they are looking for a way to rule on this and make the other cases being held go away all together.

Have no faith in the court, that’s just my opinion.

Roberts does not like renegades either. This is his chance to reel in the lower courts, instead of ignoring SCOTUS precedent.

Media consensus is that Roberts will fold like a cheap suit and punt once again.
