Duncan V Bonta - large cap mags: OLD THREAD

[TruOil]

This is exactly why many folks (myself included) have lost all respect for the entire judicial system, the legislature, and those tasked with enforcing bad law. My expectations of the above are totally zero, and anything that may possibly come as a benefit from the above is a total freebie, unplanned, and to be used before it is snatched away. Sad, but that is the reality, at least in California.

This is not necessarily "political." The trial judges and appeal judges of the Ninth Circuit have probably the highest case load in the nation. I have one case where it takes a year to get a decision on a relatively simple motion. Everything takes a lot of time.

I bet 9CA would move much faster, if SCOTUS granted temporary injunction on all the anti-2A laws argued in the court. Yet, since they keep the law on the books, they have no motivation to make the decision quick.

I'm not going to post the video, but Copper Jacket TV showed a letter from the State referencing Bianchi.
I haven't found the letter posted somewhere or another source of this info.

The 9th Circuit has no motivation to act quickly on ANY gun-rights case because they purposefully want to delay any possible grant of cert on a final judgement. They know the current SCOTUS makeup will mean a smack down for them. The fact that the 9th tends to stay any injunctions from the district courts keeps the laws in effect for however long it takes. They are hoping that Democrats sweep the 2024 or 2028 elections where they can finally act on their threats to ‘reform’ the Supreme Court, so they are dutifully kicking the can down the road as long as possible. Their long game is to have a liberal majority SCOTUS completely reverse Heller and Bruen, or at minimum completely undermine them through making “interest balancing” the default legal standard.

I blame SCOTUS for turning a blind eye on the clearly anti-constitutional decisions of the lower courts

They didn't really help that much. They created many loopholes for the dissidents to make the matters worse.

can we get an update on the update thread for quick reference: https://www.calguns.net/forum/politi...st-information

Nothing has changed. Newsolini is still in charge and we are living in Non-America.

Like John Roberts is really going to publicly castigate the inferior courts. I believe that is reserved for certain politicians, only certain ones. He didn't castigate Merrick Garland for allowing protests outside of justices, his own courts justices homes, so why call out inferior courts for not obeying SCOTUS precedent?

ETA: Didn't know this was the OLD thread!

It's really different with protests(shall I say "mostly peaceful protests" lol). One thing is to lash out at the people, arguably hitting their 1A. However, when a lower court plain refuses to follow the SCOTUS opinion aka the case-law, it's a legal matter.

The rule of law dies in this nation some time ago, we are currently operating under the rule of might, as in who is the strongest.

So long as Roberts wields power, he will rule or pressure as he sees fit within the confines of his power influence.

Well, one way or another, he's not going to interfere which is unfortunate

The ruling from the 9th was expected. They broke their own rules to hear this case, in order to deliver the decision they did. This likely will be the magazine case the Supreme Court will actually here. It seems like they have been waiting for it. We'll see.
