District to Take Gun Case to the Supreme Court

[FreedomIsNotFree]

If Diane or Barbara had a similar condition would you not be salivating?

No, I wouldn't. Not trying to make it sound like I couldn't wish harm on someone...but it would take more than an opposing political point of view.

Unfortunately, there are more like them than are like me in this State.

I forget who said this . . .

The type of person who usually wants to do a job like that is the problem. The people who would be honest and use common sense wouldn't want to do the job. You might be able to get an honest person elected, but if they stay honest they probably won't get elected again. Quite a few people don't care if the person they are electing is honest. They just care about getting "theirs." Remember, 50% of the people are below average. It's the same with being a selfish idiot.

I forget who said this, and I might be miss-phrasing it, but someone famous once said that the only people who deserved to be elected were those who didn't want to be.

There's another one that says "we get the government we deserve." I would say that it needs to be changed to "the majority gets the government it deserves." I don't deserve the garbage we get.

i was very surprised who the PARKER in this case was. or how her story came about...

sad story of a citizen in DC...

No.... They would be replaced with the people as bad as those two are.

But it would be a first step. The sheep re-elect incumbents for Congress because the longer a congress critter has been there, the more likely they are to be on the important committees. A replacement for DF and BB would have to face their challengers in actual, non-shoe-in elections.

Is it just me, or shouldn't we be hearing about City of DC - officially filing by now?

Yep, SCOTUS rulled on it. You didn't hear?

M3,

Original date for Cert being due was earlier this week, but Justice Roberts granted DC's request for more time to file about 3 weeks ago. Sadly he ruled before he saw a copy of our side's opposition to the delay.

Hopefully the extension is granted so after the fact the court can say "we gave you every opportunity" but you came up short.

[hoffmang]

It was a dumb extension. It was only an extension on the timeline to request review. It takes no real merits discussion at all.

The outline of DC's filing:

1. We lost in the DC Circuit.

2. There is a split amongst the Circuits and internal to our District's courts.

3. It is a matter of importance - strikes existing law, BOR, etc.

Please take our appeal.

Guess DC can't figure out how to start Wordperfect..

I assume they are looking for every possible delay so they can get as much legal horsepower involved as they can find? Didn't they bring in some extra super-duper Supreme Court legal team just now? They've had years to prepare for this, but I guess they want to fight as hard a possible.

What sucks is the people of DC are suffering and continue to have their rights suspended while Fenty and his socialists continue to delay. They know they have no leg to stand on, so in true socialist fashion they are prolonging the inevitable. Why am I not surprised?

Yeah dude.... where have you been?? I told you the DOJ wouldn't list!
