Constitutional Law

Heller update

Checking out the amicus briefs so far filed... BTW, ScotusBlog must have some software that automatically grabs and uploads an amicus as the Surpeme Court files it, because one of the filers today cc'd me on the upload to the Court, and not two minutes later the file was posted on ScotusBlog!

UPDATE: Here's the Congressional amicus Hat tip to Jack Anderson... oh, and the Vice President signs it as president of the Senate.

Anyway,they're an impressive lot. I was especially struck by the Buckeye Firearms Fdn one and the Pink Pistols one and the Congressional one. NRA has extensive coverage of the issue. Libertarian Party focuses on the Solicitor General's standard of review.

Maj. Generals' one is sponsored by American Shooters and Hunter's Assn, a false flag operation, and suggests that the DC Ban is unconstitutional but other gun laws wouldn't be. Well written, as are the other briefs. There's one by over a hundred women legislators and academics.

And NRA has a list of all the federal legislators who have signed the legislators' brief, not yet online.

Battle stations, latest draft coming back from Joe Olson, I'm outa here!
