The rehearing by the full DC Circuit court was denied and the three judge panel decision on Parker v DC stands. DC gets 90 days (I think) to appeal it to the SCOTUS.
Eugene Volokh is calling the odds at the SCOTUS hearing the case at “well over 50%”.
During the ride back from Boomershoot, David filled me in on ways that the SCOTUS could hear the case and still not change anything, and I am hoping that he’ll have time to let the rest of you know. I could paraphrase it, but I wouldn’t do it justice (pardon the pun).
Rivrdog asks “What if we win?”, and has some good hpyotheticals in response.
Myself, being the pessimist that I am, and having heard David’s ideas about the SCOTUS being able to limp-wrist the case, would be at least somewhat content if they denied hearing it. It would minimally cement the “Individual Right” as was the intention of the authors of the Bill of Rights.
What say ye?
