I fail to see what he feels he will gain by being a jerk. I truly want to get behind him and his case, but what a jerk...
Predicting which cases the Supreme Court will or will not take is a fools game. Everyone will be wrong, like predictions about Trump.
I think that the Peruta panel decision has merit and more persuasive (carry is a right regardless of method), but I also honestly see the merit it the historical argument that open carry is the traditional way this right has been recognized and codified in state constitutions.
Also like Trump, the argument appears to be tied up in the character and trolling of the messenger.
I am personally rooting for either argument to win at some point on the theory that some win is better than none.
But my money is not on either of these cases, my money says Baker has a better shot. Although I think HI might concede at the last minute and adopt a CA type law, which will restart the process.
I worked with the Office of the Solicitor General of the United States (that's the Department of Justice) on an every day basis for 33 years (I retired a month ago).
As to the merits of whether a petition might be granted in Peruta, you may well be right that the petition will be denied. To some extent, that may well depend on who the President Elect nominates to the Court.
Unless the personal attacks are directed at me in which case the moderator doesn't seem to mind.Insulting respected members of this community will not go well here.
Of course just my opinion.
I hope to go to the Supreme Court with Baker but I personally think the DC cases have the best shot at getting cert. For one thing I don't even think that Hawaii actually has the will to take it up that far assuming I win Baker.

You should have clarified that you have already told the court that you asked for a remand in Baker and promised not to file any more preliminary injunction appeals.
Which means that it won't be your preliminary injunction appeal which you would appeal to SCOTUS but your loss on final judgment, a loss which has to go through the court of appeals all over again before you are in a position to file a cert petition.
By then, of course, Nichols v. Brown will have been decided and the decision in my case will be controlling here in the 9th Circuit.
But tell us more about your other pending appeal, Young v. Hawaii.
I wonder if CA9 is waiting to see what happens after Trump is sworn in to see what way they will go with their answer. Also correct me if I am wrong but hasnt 9CA always been the bastard child out of all the appeals courts? creating the most trouble for the SC? What options are left to Mr Brown if CA9 does not answer?
