ryan_j 0 Posted April 11, 2014 who the hell is solicitor general? The attorney who goes before SCOTUS to represent the Government. On a side note, Paul Clement, the attorney who won Peruta was a former solicitor general who has appeared 70+ times before the Supreme Court. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_j 0 Posted April 11, 2014 5.4% of teams expect the Court to call for the views of the Solicitor General what does this mean http://www.scotusblog.com/2012/05/scotus-for-law-students-what-does-the-solicitor-general-do-sponsored-by-bloomberg-law/ I doubt the SG would be involved as this is a challenge to a state law.

fiddle 0 Posted April 12, 2014 He does. He's not mayor anymore, back at the company running the board. Bloomberg law has nothing to do with him or his ideas, it's a service they provide to gather law info, bills etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bloomberg law has nothing to do with him or his ideas, it's a service they provide to gather law info, bills etc.. My point being, I can't imagine anyone being allowed to use his name for any product or service that isn't subject to his scruitiny or mindset or, otherwise, doesn't have his *spin* on it, whether he actually runs it or not.

Thats not really the case. Bloomberg news for example publishes lots of things Bloomberg himself might disagree with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMJeepster 2,765 Posted April 14, 2014 Love it: "But just as the struggle for racial equality did not end with Brown v. Board of Education,11 the effort to establish the Second Amendment as a normal part of the Bill of Rights was never going to unfurl a “Mission Accomplished” banner just because the Supreme Court declared that the Second Amendment was a fundamental individual right on par with the others." Don't forget to also read this one: http://harvardlawreview.org/2014/04/good-cause-requirements-for-carrying-guns-in-public/ "If a public-carry licensing regime operates like a ban, it should be evaluated as such."
