Maryland AWB case Snope v Brown going to SCOTUS. (Formerly Bianchi v Brown & Bianchi v Frosh)

[p.tice]

If that decision is tomorrow, wouldn't they be writing it right now?

Sorry- meant an opinion which would be later this year or next.

 

[VTski4x4]

Get your rosary beads out.

 

[lutstribe]

If somehow scouts gets there act together the liberals will get hammered hard without lube. But not think its going to happen under Roberts courts . in some countries I don't think you need to be a student of law to be impartial. Justice is blind. Lol. If I were a judge I know I would be a constitutionalist. That's the only way to give real justice. Not 63 bs.

Soooo are we waiting until Monday for news or??

[Nightshift]

Probably Monday.

What that news is will be a guess.

Yep, I can read. Just didn’t know if “miscellaneous orders” happened at specific times (like 9:30) or what.

 

[pastera]

Ok, Thomas could be writing a 30 page cert denial dissent. But could Kagan or Sotomayer be writing a cert acceptance dissent instead?

I don't believe I've ever seen a dissent for granting cert - the only reason for this would be a flaw in the case that take it out of the realm of an "actual case or controversy"

 

[Darksideblues42]

Yep, I can read. Just didn’t know if “miscellaneous orders” happened at specific times (like 9:30) or what.

"Typically" cases that are being issued cert are released on a Friday to allow for a couple of prescious extra days for folks to work on their briefs and arguments.

Things that are GVR'ed or not taken up or relisted are announced on a Monday.

Not a rule, but the last misc. order was posted at 2:45 PM EST

 

[Palladin]

So we wait til Monday morning


again

 

[JoseyWales]

January 24th already, sheesh time flies. Can't control Roberts with ESP, so I'm going back to work being productive.

 

[Markymk25]

So we wait til Monday morning

If they’re going to grant cert, it’ll probably happen today. If it doesn’t get granted cert today, we’ll know Monday if they deny cert or kick the can further down the road.

 

[Coyote33]

So that's it? Just shut up, stand in the corner, and wait until we're called upon? Kicking the can down the road?

Are they done for the day now?

 

[paul73]

Are they done for the day now?

that is, yes

 

[sbhaven]

Still waiting to see if they drop anything today after conference. From Mark Smith about five hours ago...

2A SCOTUS BREAKING TODAY. Let me make this simple. If we do not get a cert grant by midnight tonight in Snope (AR-15 ban-MD) or Ocean State Tactical (Mag ban-RI), then the odds of SCOTUS hearing one of these cases this term will fall to almost zero.

 

[paul73]

If we do not get a cert grant by midnight tonight

i also hope to see the cert, but, i do fail to see a single reason of why current scotus would want to do that.

 

[Markymk25]

Cert granted on 3 cases, none of which are snope or ocean state tactical….

SCOTUS's calendar for Monday the 27th:

• The Court will release an order list at 9:30 a.m.
• The Supreme Court Building is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Unfortunate, but not unsurprising. If SCOTUS was going to grant cert they would have done so by now.

I had the thought recently that the current court (at least Barrett and Roberts) are RINO snakes that like issuing big decisions during the mid-terms to agitate the Democrat base. They did so with Dobs in 2022, so I can see them doing Snope and OST in 2026. So, as long as it's not denied and doesn't get reviewed this term, I think next year is very likely.

If both get denied then it's clear that even with the right leaning judges in this country they like the big police state, they like the corrupt capitalism, they like the big corporations, and they DGAF about individual liberty.

 

[VetteGirlMA]

I'll say this. If SCOTUS doesn't take the case then blue states are going to be emboldened to go further in their anti-Bruen hissy fits.

 

[Dench]

Snope would not likely directly effect NFA items, although it could be written to do so.
My point is that given the case history and pleadings, unless the opinion's holding is written specifically to affirm the NFA and GCA it will undermine their legality even further.
Bruen strengthened the text, history and tradition framework which allowed for Canjura - Switchblades were never mentioned in Bruen but Bruen laid the foundation necessary to show their protection.
While Thomas may be pro giggle switch, most on the bench are at best agnostic on the subject. We want cert with Thomas, Kavanagh then Alito in that order as the writer.

Can you ELI5 snopes please

 

[VTski4x4]

Remember folks, Bruen was conferenced 4x before cert. This was number 4 for Snopes.

 

[xtry51]

Maybe over the next 4 years we'll get lucky and Robert's will die from his boosters. Then we can replace hum with someone like Rand Paul and start really f***ing up FDRs bullshit

 

[T-Unit]

I'll say this. If SCOTUS doesn't take the case then blue states are going to be emboldened to go further in their anti-Bruen hissy fits.

More lawsuits for the lawyer lobby. I learned many years ago that the courts and judicial system aren't there to protect individuals' rights, they exist for the legal profession.

Ah, well, they pretend the laws are just and righteous, so we will just pretend to obey the law.
