SCOTUS punts, again

[Ray Ray 3,566]

This is absolutely ridiculous. 

[gleninjersey 2,141]

Hopefully next week.

Supreme court just relisted all 10 2A cases under consideration. The theory was that they punted on the NY case last week to hear one of the 10 cases before the court.

They may still do it but I still maintain the only way we'll get a favorable 2A decision is if a rep president appoints all 9 justices. We may get a 5-4 decision then.

Does it really take 20 minutes to say they chose not to hear the arguments at this time but maybe in the future?

But them how do you expect to find out about the guy's back? And that's as far as I made it. This ain't a Dear Abby and I ain't got time for that.

I agree, the first few minutes of drama are unnecessary but the meat of the video is good.

[ChrisJM981 924]

Any word? Conference was suppposed to be yesterday as per their schedule.

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

We should know on Monday.

Well don't hold it for too long, or we'll have to put you on a ventilator.

And you know how THAT ends.

No action on any of the ten 2A cases.

I have donated to Mark Cheeseman's case and have followed the other cases as well. Sadly, I feel the only option for those seeking relief would be to move to one of the other 43  "Shall Issue" states. I have very little hope that the supreme court will take, review, and rule on a case that impacts "may issue/no issue" states. Relief may have to come from within or may it never come at all.

I don't know if you are serious or not.

But, I'm not shocked. I was expecting it. When they let NYC bend them over like bitches, nothing they do surprises me.

Yup, I expect nothing significant until Robert's is overruled with another conservative being placed on the courts.

i am not. that was 1,000% sarcasm. i pretty much had a gut feeling they were gonna do this.

At least all but 1 still are alive. I don't know why Beers was mooted.

Of interest is that they rejected Kelsay v. Ernst and Jessop v. City of Fresno, both qualified immunity cases.

Kelsay reads as contempt of cop, with a predictable outcome for Kelsay - and the cop is, naturally, immune from lawsuit.

In Jessop, police on a search warrant stole a rare coin collection. Not only is it acceptable that they did so, but they are immune from a lawsuit. 

It comes down to being able to point to a historical case in your circuit where the court held the public official was not protected.

So in Jessop, the police were immune because there is no case that says police who steal are not immune.

There are a few cases before the court that deals with qualified immunity. Hopefully (there I go again) the court drives a stake thru the heart of that abomination that has no legal basis to exist. Qualified immunity is a fabrication of the judiciary and only exists because the branch that created it say so.

But, hope springs eternal, they say.

Well at least they were not on the refused certiorari list. I am sure Alito is not happy.

Scotus punts yet again.......new date for conference is 5/28/20. I can't really say I'm surprised, NJ will be last(if ever) to get "shall issue" conceal carry.
