U.S.A. v. Jackson
One of the hard things to accept is that so many inferior courts think that when a case is vacated and remanded, it isn’t for good reason. The courts speak in polite ways. You don’t call out a judge for being an idiot. No matter how often they open their mouth to remove all doubt.…

When the Arguments Are that Bad: Nguyen v. Bonta
This case involves California’s one gun per month infringement. On Dec 18, 2020, nearly 4 years ago, Michelle Nguyen and others filed a complaint against Xavier Becerra, the Attorney General of California asking for injunctive and declaratory relief.

When the State wants more weasel words
The state is constantly looking for weasel words in Supreme Court opinions to further their arrogant subjugation of their subjects.

Harrel v. Raoul, Denial of Certiorari
The State of Illinois enacted a law that makes it a felony to possess what Illinois branded “assault weapons,” a term defined to include AR–15s. See Ill. Comp. Stat., ch. 720, §5/24–1.9(a)(1)(J)(ii)(II) (West 2023). “The AR–15 is the most popular semi-automatic rifle” in America and is therefore undeniably “in common use today.” Heller v. District…

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR has thoroughly addressed the Court’s flawed reasoning and conclusion as a matter of history, tradition, law, and logic. I agree with every word of her powerful dissent. I write separately to explain, as succinctly as I can, the theoretical nuts and bolts of what, exactly, the majority has done today to alter the…
