Robert M. Loeb just made an appearance. That guy is a stone cold killer.

He is one of the top appellate attorneys in the country. The county is planning on taking this to the Supreme Court.

And who is funding the county on this?

I doubt Bob is either cheap or working pro bono.

Honestly this is a pretty good Supreme Court case. The real problem with the AR 15 cases is there is a great chance we will lose them at the Supreme Court.
Especially now with Scalia gone. This is the type of case that the Supreme Court would have to say well sure if there is a right to own them then you can't ban all gun stores.

Are you forgetting all those other cases where logic, the rule of law and every thing common sense was just thrown out the window? Obamacare legal because it is a tax has completely slipped your mind? The liberals on SCOTUS will do or say anything to rule the way they want. There is no shame, conscience, or regrets with these people.

Can there be any doubt, for example, that the minority in Heller wouldn't give the slightest consideration to following Heller vs DC?

The Heller minority would would throw the baby of stare decisis out with the bath water faster than Sotomayor could say 'settled law' in her confirmation hearing.

The Ninth Circuit is the most overturned circuit for a reason but it does not like getting overturned all the time. If I was a betting and I am I would wager that this case gets overturned. But if the Ninth does it in a way that ignores Heller or logic and reason then it knows it will get overturned by the Supreme Court just like the Mass Supreme Court did in Caetono. There is one thing that the liberals on the Supreme Court hate more than the Second Amendment and that is having a lower court act like they do not have to obey the Supreme Court

Yet they have repeatedly failed to act on many very good, ripe, well-argued and well-briefed cases with many lower courts begging and daring them to provide guidance.

A case comes to mind (what was that case?) where a CCA found that people have a 'right' to a perception of safety therefore common semi-auto rifles could be banned? Cert denied, as I recall.

Freidman? Out of the Chicago suburb of Oak Parks (or something like that)? Yeah, SCOTUS not granting cert on that one (and overturning it) one was a travesty. But at least it didn't become the law of the land by SCOTUS affirming it.

Agreed. I'm hoping that the new Supreme Court can send the 9th Circuit a message. There will be plenty of opportunities on this issue at this rate.

Send a message, my *****. Send a firing squad. And by firing squad, I mean Trey Gowdy and some other Constitutionalists to set those bums straight on the law of the land.

Again, the relevant law doesn't matter. The 9th Circus is devoted to killing liberty.

You go to the 9th and one way or another you lose.

So far as SCOTUS? Remember that Scalia appeared to be solid on the RKBA and with him aboard the SCOTUS was not slapping the 9th around - which means that replacing him isn't going to fix the issue. You need at least 2 Trump SCOTUS appointments in order to have great hope of SCOTUS fixing things.

They just can't let a pro 2A decision stand. This now marks the 4th en banc by CA9 in 2A cases?

That's it. Time for the Trump DoJ to crawl over every inch of these judges' lives and find something to remove them over. If they are going to allow their personal preferences to guide their choices over the rule of law and their oath to the Constitution it's time to pull them off the bench and replace them with those who will honor that oath. Additionally, these en-banc votes need to be public so that it can be identified if certain judges are engaging in a pattern or practice of partiality.

En banc is exceptionally rare, unless it is a pro gun ruining in the 9th circuit; then it is garunteed.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will reconsider the legal merits of Alameda County ordinance that restricts where and how many gun stores can reside in unincorporated areas.

The court announced Tuesday that a case challenging Alameda County’s 1998 gun store location ordinance will be up for rehearing by a full panel the week of March 20 in San Francisco, and that a three-justice panel opinion issued in May should not be considered precedent.

The Ninth Circuit selects a only small fraction of the cases submitted to it for reconsideration before a full 11-judge panel. Cases are selected on what’s perceived to be of constitutional importance.

Perceived to be of Constitutional importance... Riiiiiiight. Because there's need to take it en banc if you think they got it right in the original ruling. Was this even submitted for en banc as the Merc implies? I was under the impression that this was another sua sponte instance - which should be "an even smaller fraction" - but when it comes to a right enshrined in the BoR, I guess we can expect it to be brought up every time if it rules in favor of the right instead of restriction...

About to get en banc'ed again. What a surprise. I'm sure that d-bag Thomas called for it.

Business casual is preferred I think. We can generally tell which sides people are on based on with whom they congregate.

Preferred by whom? Is a molon labe t shirt really going to away the decision either way?

At Peruta en banc there was a heavy LEO presence- yes it's a courthouse, but they brought in extra people and I think might have had more long guns present too.

Come for the discussion/to support our side. Don't expect any impact except the other side murmuring about the fervent gun nuts that come out for these things.

Well, there are extremes of dress.

When I go to those things, I wear a suit. People think I'm a lawyer.

If someone come in all camo, that's the clip that will make the news - but the TV people won't bother to talk to him/her.

If folks come Dressed Like Everybody Else, there's nothing the TV drones can focus on. They completely miss the message "Dressed Like Everybody Else? They are like everybody else; nothing extreme here."

Court's are one of the ancient institutions of our society. They are VERY CONSERVATIVE in procedure. They met out justice. They expect and often DEMAND respect. Just search "judge lawyer inappropriate dressed" and you'll see PLENTY of examples.

IMO, "business casual" of a longsleeved white Oxford with tie is the WORST I'd wear in court, as an observer (vs as a party or witness).

Inside courtrooms are NOT the place to make political statements by your dress, esp if you are on the opposite side of the judges already. Why leave them with "a bad taste in their mouths" about 2nd A advocates when we'll probably be in front of them again in the future?

Say you don't wear a provocative t shirt but don't dress up as an observer but stay silent/non provocative.

What's going to happen? The judge who was pro gun will decide if you're too slovenly to wear a tie he'll decide differently just to spite us? If a judge was on the fence, the sight of an untied collar will decide the case? And given the animus of the 9th, and our proven history of en banc courts in guns, you really think there's enough of a margin an unadorned collar will make the difference?

Or the court will grind to a halt, and a judge will order you ejected? Fined? Imprisoned? Lashed? For having the audacity to wear a striped collared shirt with a collar button undone while remaining silent as an observer, in the 3rd row?

Look, I respect you paladin, and if you have superstition or whatever- just tell me and ask me to respect that and you'll get a lot further. As is, it seems like you're asking me to take FUD as verifiable proven facts, which I reflexively reject. The evidence you cite is from a LAWYER. Darn right anytime I'm BEFORE a judge I'll dress to the nines. But there is no evidence I'm aware of, or has been presented to me, about doing anything as an observer short of Manson family behavior that will create a problem.

Absolutely.

Come on, the only statement you want to make in a court is how much you respect the court's status. You need to dress like you're taking it seriously because it is serious.

Obviously I wear a suit when I am appearing in court but I show up to see my friends argue when they have a big case all the time. I just wear my street cloths. Trust me the judges don't care. If its a trial court I might get a smile or a nod if I know them. Most of the time these people don't take any notice at all at who is there much less how they are dressed.

What's going to happen? The judge who was pro gun will decide if you're too slovenly to wear a tie he'll decide differently just to spite us? If a judge was on the fence, the sight of an untied collar will decide the case? And given the animus of the 9th, and our proven history of en banc courts in guns, you really think there's enough of a margin an unadorned collar will make the difference?
The Left/antis are always say folks on the Right are hicks, yahoos, uneducated, unintelligent, unsophisticated, "clinging to guns & religion" (as Obama said), etc. Do not reinforce that stereotype.

Courts are SUPPOSED to be non-partisian and even non-political and that's why most judges do not "run for office" against other candidates (although some are required to win elections to remain on the bench ("Goodbye, Justice (Rose?) Bird!")). Courts refer to the Executive and Legislative branches as "the political branches" and they do NOT refer to themselves or consider themselves political. If you want to make a POLITICAL statement, do it OUTSIDE of the courtroom afterwards. But even there, don't do it by wearing a John Deere hat and cammies, do it by your intelligent statements/arguments and by your professional appearance.

Just because something is permitted does not mean it is wise to do. Rather, that liberty gives each person room to show themselves as wise or foolish.

Like I said: don't do ANYTHING to leave ANYONE with a bad impression of 2nd A advocates/gunnies. Be a "credit" to our position, esp before an en banc panel of federal judges.

The question I have for you is why would you want to do otherwise?

I used to agree, but in California, that battle is lost. Coupled with Richard Spencer dressing white supremacy up in suits and being a cultural phenomenon right now, suits hold less protective power of "right wing ideology" these days especially.

Again, you strawman. I was NOT planning on wearing cammies and a john deere hat- I would have to buy both first to even contemplate doing so. I'm talking street clothes. As for the 9th being non-political- yeah, I know you said "supposed", but I'm done respecting or pretending they are. No, that doesn't mean I'm dressing in tea party garb, but showing deference or respect where unnecessary? Yeah, no thanks, I don't dress up and act like an organ grinder monkey for a master who has nothing but contempt for me.

Yes, and dressing up very nicely to have my face spit in with no sympathetic press to show my photo to galvanize support for civil rights means I just ruin a suit with no upside.

Simple. Suits are dry clean only. Ties don't let you go out drinking and relax. You either pull the tie loose, which is bad for the tie and still presents your tie as a target to get ruined, or you have to have your car to stash stuff in, which then presents a target to get broken into in the glorious crime-free utopia of San Francisco. Ties are generally uncomfortable, and so I only wear when it has benefit FOR ME.

Some people say, "no glove, no love".

I say, "No benefit, no tie".

Good heavens!

If you don't want to wear a tie, don't. Clean shirt with a collar.

I'd suggest better-than-bowling-team-shirt, if you have such.

I suspect, as wolfwood has reported, court officers don't really care about appearance in the gallery. Behavior, OTOH, will be noticed.

Also, for those going, no CCW - the court will not let you in, and they will not check your weapon, unless you are LEO. Further, plan to check your knives; those can't come in, either, but they will hold them and give you a receipt.
