Montgomery County Bill 21-22

LOL. Does This Apply?

The poor fella. Finds himself struggling over what “is” is.

I think most people that are anti-2nd also are anti-1st. Maybe even unwittingly but nevertheless, anti-1st by both action and words. Especially since, for practical purposes, the 1st has been suspended.

Sadly this appears to be true. Years ago I read a line from someone that sums up the peoples' view on society perfectly: people don't want liberty, they want their way. Fixing this is the crux of the matter. All other issues spring from this.

Haven't heard it said that way, very true.

Agreed.

I just hope he uses that disgust to "do the right thing."

He wants to "get it right" you know.....

Delayed = Denied

I was there for the hearing, the tone of his voice when he said that was even better than the words alone. You could hear the despair on knowing he was in between a rock and a hard place.

That's the former lawyer in him saying that with despair, not the Judge he swore to be.

It's absolutely disgraceful how he's handled this case.

Yup. It's embarrassing. He's a disgrace to the judiciary IMHO, and if by some reason he decides to rule in favor of MoCo in the face of Bruen, I hope the smackdown he gets on appeal leaves a lasting mark that dead-ends his career. This is a Judge who should not be on the bench.

As far as this case goes, this means nothing to this Judge.

If we hear nothing from him today, add a couple more days for the weekend.

We'll find out how relaxing his weekend was if we don't hear anything on Monday either.

Thank you.

Denial of a constitutional right constitutes irreparable harm under the PI framework. That is supposed to be all the urgency a judge needs.

Beyond the legal framework, as I see it the practical urgency is tied to the rash of crimes being committed (car jackings, murders, etc.) in these 100 yard no-self-defense zones in MoCo. It is not hypothetical that people who are legally required to be unarmed are being victimized in the areas covered by this unconstitutional law.

Well said.

This is a good corollary to: It's not about hypocrisy. It's about hierarchy.

People will look past their own hypocrisy and that of others if it advances their desired hierarchy.

We're seeing this play out in real-time in MoCo.

Apparently this effective abrogation of an enumerated constitutional right wasn't urgent enough for the Judge, which begs the question, "What would be?".

All too true. And it is frightening, in these days of selective entitlement and brain-bending manipulation of our "thoughts" and opinions.

I've elsewhere posted a link to a study of the under-30 set, regarding their concerns about "hate speech." They were queried whether they though that the death penalty might be appropriate under certain extreme circumstances, for those whose words were particularly troubling.

A surprising number though that this would be OK.

Here's a link:

No I was talking about the lawyer from montgomery county when he said he wanted to keep his job

I had to visit another MoCo customer today and all I can say, in concurrence with GTOGUNNER and eRuby is,...ooops.
