NYC CCW case is at SCOTUS!

[Occam]

Does this mean that tomorrow is the day?

Also, same day they'll find the treasure on Oak Island, Elvis's lost album (recorded with Sasquatch in a flying UFO recording studio) will be found, CNN will reformat as a news outlet, and we'll have Bitcoin at 100,000. Also: it's the day that Amazon's stock is doing a 20-for-1 split. Somehow, the conservative justices' votes will be diluted 20-to-1 and the ruling will go to Sotomayor, who will find that the Bill of Rights is entirely to be scrapped, on account of zero Wise Latinas involved in writing it.

Or, we could get the ruling we're expecting. But they have all month to add things to the calendar. We all need to put on yoga pants, have some avocado toast and chill our collective prana.

I checked the SCOTUS calendar. 6/6 is the ONLY Opinion Issuance Day scheduled in June. The calendar shows 6/20 as a court Holiday. THEIR July calendar appears empty.

I looked at April and May. All opinion dates matched the OID days on their calendar.

Does this mean that tomorrow is the day?

No, they update that calendar regularly.

Agreed. Then again, you could argue a subway is also a sensitive place by that definition. Which would hinder the ability for a vast number of people to legally carry anywhere.

Probably add something like controls in place to ensure no individuals are carrying a firearm (a sign is not sufficient). For example, bag and metal detector checks. So things like air ports, courts, prisons, controlled access government buildings are covered. As would large events where they do actual security screening and fencing. But things like subways would not be able to be included.

A sensitive place should be required to have some kind of security, controlled access and actual screening to enter.

Public transit is going to be a major 2nd Amendment battle ground in the years ahead. As someone who once lived in NYC, I can tell you now that everyone except the wealthiest of the wealthy takes the Subway. Prohibiting guns on busses and trains is tantamount to gutting the 2nd Amendment.

On a related note, CCW holders in NYC are currently allowed to be armed on the subway. It's going to be hard for NYC to suddenly claim they are a legitimate danger.

I met an unrestricted permit holder in NYC and it blew my mind that of all things for NYC to prohibit, they left that part alone. He didn’t even flinch when I asked if he can ride the subway. Can’t even do that on the MTA in MD or Metro in DC.

Hopefully, quite a few opinions will be released today to alleviate the backlog.

Morning bump

Starting at 10 a.m. EDT, the court expects to issue one or more opinions

Alito specifically asked about less wealthy individuals taking the subway home at night during argument, so at least one justice is thinking about it.

Hopefully five agree it deserves mention in the opinion.

I suspect it is because there are so few unrestricted permit holders in NYC. Last I checked the vast majority have connections or paid bribes with a minority of those who are at serious risk and also have the money to jump through all of the hoops presented by the state and city.

The holder I met is a firearms instructor at one of the few ranges in the city.

Here's something of interest for those waiting: The McCloskeys had their case denied by SCOTUS. They were challenging the discipline imposed by Missouri on them as attorneys for their conduct.

on ScottsBlog and waiting to see what happens..

 

[DC-W]

Any opinions that could come out at this point today are written by Thomas or Roberts.
Opinions are released in order of reverse seniority, except when it's from the Chief.
First was by Sotomayor. Second was by Thomas.

 

[DC-W]

Today is not the day lol

 

[Decoy]

Freaking R numbers, nothing today

Freaking R numbers, nothing today

What are 'R' numbers? Seeing this on scotusblog also...

 

[Kharn]

They do not number the cases being released that day until the last one is out, so R numbers being assigned means they're done for the day.

So Thomas had the 7-2 Medicare and 8-0 (ACB recused) Southwest cases, 32 and 14 pages respectively, January and March. Is he clearing his workload for all hands on deck re NYSRPA?

 

[motorcoachdoug]

Well that stinks! IMHO we will have to wait until the end of the month for the case we all want..

Amy Howe from SCTOTUSBlog pulled release dates from last year, expect many more this month even if not yet on the calendar.

In response to an email inquiry last week, I looked back at opinion days in June (and early July) last year. Here's what I found, although I did not go back to see when they announced these opinion days:

June 1, 2021 -- the Tuesday after Memorial Day
June 3, 2021 -- Thursday
June 7, 2021 -- Monday
June 10, 2021 -- Thursday
June 14, 2021 -- Monday
June 17, 2021 -- Thursday
June 21, 2021 -- Monday
June 23, 2021 -- Wednesday
June 25, 2021 -- Friday
June 29, 2021 -- Tuesday
July 1, 2021 -- Thursday

I also have not looked back yet at how many opinions they released on these days, but it at least gives you a sense of what they did.
