What ever happened to emancipation day?
But they don't say what the remedy is when the government violates your rights with respect to the Miranda rule. So, cross that off the list.Section 1983 provides a cause of action against any person acting under color of state law who “subjects” a person or “causes [a person] to be subjected . . . to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws.” The question we must decide is whether a violation of the Miranda rules provides a basis for a claim under §1983. We hold that it does not
How many actual laws have an actual penalty against the government? I'm guessing like 98% do not.
Held: New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense. Pp. 8–63.
Jesus 135 pages. There goes my morning.
(1) It is undisputed that petitioners Koch and Nash—two ordinary, law-abiding, adult citizens—are part of “the people” whom the Second Amendment protects. See Heller, 554 U. S., at 580. And no party disputes that handguns are weapons “in common use” today for self-defense. See id., at 627. The Court has little difficulty concluding also that the plain text of the Second Amendment protects Koch’s and Nash’s proposed course of conduct—carrying handguns publicly for self-defense. Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms, and the definition of “bear” naturally encompasses public carry. Moreover, the Second Amendment guarantees an “individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” id., at 592, and confrontation can surely take place outside the home. Pp. 23–24.
I know this is a tangent, but
I know this is a tangent, but
isn't that the WHOLE POINT of Miranda?!
If that's the case, why even having a licensing scheme at all? They should have just said licensing schemes are unconstitutional and left no wiggle room.We win!
WSJ - The Supreme Court struck down New York state’s system for issuing concealed weapons permits, ruling that the century-old law requiring that applicants demonstrate “proper cause” and “good moral character” violates the Second Amendment.
So, is it a broad or narrow ruling?
Sure it will. After, oh, 10 years of lawsuits up through the MASC, which will result in no changes. Then, we'll have 5 years of federal lawsuits, followed by a return to the SC. Then something may change.It's going to take some parsing, but this looks like it'll impact the MA licensing scheme.
I'm sure NYC will respond to having to lose the proper cause requirement by making licenses cost $10k or capping them to 5 for the whole city or implementing a proficiency test where you shoot a derringer to 1000 yards.
That said, it's fantastic news that SCOTUS finally recognizes the right to keep and bear arms in public.
Taxi drivers spent more money getting their medallionTaxi drivers are not important people like those who qualify for NYC carry permits are.
Miranda protects the ignorant against a spectrum of infringements.I know this is a tangent, but
isn't that the WHOLE POINT of Miranda?!
MA pols don't obey lawsIt's going to take some parsing, but this looks like it'll impact the MA licensing scheme.
