En banc Decision in Peruta -- a loss

[krucam]

If I were them I wouldn't want to delay while there's still only 8 justices.
They also are due for their reply in Nichols on the 17th. Since that case is in CA9, they will attempt and be granted more extensions since they already got away with it once by asking for an extension the day before it's due.

Agreed that it wouldn't be smart to request an extension, but one can always hope....

Wouldn't be unheard of, they're always crying about being busy unlike the rest of the country

It ain't easy circumventing reason.

Practically every state pleads workload and asks for one extension for each SC case.

Feb 16 2017Brief of respondent California in opposition filed.

When does SCOTUSblog grab the docket?

When does SCOTUSblog grab the docket?

They have a section as I recall with documents but am guessing it would be a couple days there to enter onto the website.

Took a gamble and emailed Paul Clement, we'll see. Alan Gura has provided me with pdf's in the past. I'll see what happens...

 

[danb]

I checked and they do not even have a page for it as far as I could tell.

That is texas's amicus brief

 

[krucam]

Just heard back from Mr Clements office...

2 Briefs in Opposition, 1 from the State of CA, other from County of Yolo (Richards?)

Amicus from Western States Sheriffs' Association.

 

[Kharn]

CA definitely prefers the minimalist approach to the table of contents...

Statement ................................................................. 1
Argument .................................................................. 6
Conclusion ............................................................... 16

 

[danb]

Obviously, they are hoping that with a 4-4 split, before Gorsuch is confirmed, SCT will not take this.

That Brief absolutely kicked ass. I may have to frame it!

Daaaaamn

That Brief absolutely kicked ass. I may have to frame it!

Agreed. I read it twice to make sure I was reading what I thought I was reading. Damn.

GOA filed a brief

[Bob A]

Two wildly different styles of brief there. Texas is well-reasoned and concisely fact-filled; GOA is rather in-your-face aggressive, and takes petitioners to task for giving away most of the cake in order to get a taste of the core crumbs.

Both pretty enjoyable but I find the Texas brief more compelling. We'll all grow old waiting to see what comes of all this.

That Brief absolutely kicked ass. I may have to frame it!

Hell yeah it did

If wonder if this would help the people of Maryland depending on how SCOTUS would rule as well.
