Kolbe en banc decision

[jcutonilli]

Petition denied

 

[press1280]

Cert denied

But scotus allowed an amicus to be filed! Sarcasm off.

Looks like the court will not take anything unless the composition changes.

[rockstarr]

damn, I had such high hopes. I'm sure frosh is beyond happy and will be praising the court all day.

 

[swinokur]

Probably Froshed all over himself.

 

[mxrider]

sigh. I think that means that all of the circuits that have similar bans have now all been denied cert and likely keeps this in place forever. I'm not aware of any other cases coming up through the system that could go to the SC.

Be prepared for the chest pounding and chant of "The Supreme Court upheld our laws."

Exactly as predicted. The Court will not take a 2A firearms case until its composition changes. And how it decides the cases that it takes after that will depend on the change of composition. It is a purely political institution. Understand that and maybe you'll understand why it does what it does.

There are three cases in Massachusetts that have some potential. Two are federal court challenges, one to the AWB itself and one to the MA AG's interpretation of it. There's also a criminal appeal that will be heard by the SJC in January.

Even with a significant change, I think the court is going to be very reluctant to take up an AWB case while two mass shootings are fresh in the public's memory. These shootings are not good for the cause.

I don't doubt that for a second.

So unless the court takes the Hamilton case (which really doesn't affect many people), looks like there won't be a 2A case at the court yet again.

Denial of cert does not mean that.

I don't believe there is enough data to say that it is a purely political institution. There are certainly cases that do appear to be political, but most of them are not. This case has been litigated at least 4 times (DC, NY, CT, Highland Park) with the same conclusion. I am not sure why you think this case was appreciable different.

So now that our case is dead so to speak, what can we do now ? and can we now file a new lawsuit bout needing to show G&S since the DC circuit said that is unconstitutional and their is a circuit split?

And Frosh starts his boasting.

Statement of Attorney General Frosh on Supreme Court’s Denial of Cert in Kolbe v. Hogan

BALTIMORE, MD (November 27, 2017) – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s denial of a cert petition in Kolbe v. Hogan:

“The Maryland Firearm Safety Act is a common-sense law. The Supreme Court’s denial of certiorari confirms the principle that states may protect their citizens and communities from the devastation of these weapons of war. The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals found that assault weapons and large-capacity magazines banned by Maryland are ‘like’ the military’s M-16 rifles and were not only ‘designed for the battlefield,’ but also ‘have been used disproportionately to their ownership in mass shootings and the murders of law enforcement officers.’ Assault weapons, which have resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of people in recent months, are not protected by the Second Amendment. The Firearm Safety Act remains the law in Maryland.

“I appreciate the work of the members of the Office of Attorney General’s Civil Division who have worked on this case, particularly former Chief of the Civil Division Matt Fader.”

More laws coming ,, they got their inch now comes the mile? Frosh would be dumb not to try.
I'm now waiting for the "We need more money to fight" emails. Where's that gerrymandering thread, any chance with this at all?

Toss this thread like rusty steel casings and I fear an MDS Real Estate section may be beneficial? Rant done.
