The Boy That Cried Wolf
First, Mark Smith is a lawyer. I am not. Much of the “inside baseball” I’ve learned from listening to Mark and others like him on YouTube. His analysis of many cases is spot on. Many times his analysis guides mine. I enjoy listening to him. To put it differently, I enjoy him attempting to “make…

Reading The Docket
Ally came to me the other day upset about the TikTok case. One of her issues was that the AP was reporting that they couldn’t report more because it was “sealed”. I found this to be unusual and went to the source to find out what is going on. What I found was somewhat different.…

Tuesday Tunes + SCOTUS babble
Next Monday we will see Snope and Ocean State Tactical granted cert or relisted. Right now, there are 100s of lawyers writing briefs for these cases. I expect to see over a thousand pages submitted to the Supreme Court. Bruen was distributed for Conference on 4/1/2021, 4/16/2021, and 4/23/2021. Cert was granted 4/26/2021. The parties…

In two days, we will get our next cup of tea leaves. On the 16th, Gray waived the 14-day waiting period for distribution of Petition. They requested that the case be distributed for the January 10th conference on December 24th. They did, indeed, get their reply in on time. Amazing how the good guys get…

Gray v. Jennings, No. 24-309
The trifecta of pro-Second Amendment cases In the 60s, I can remember wrapping Christmas presents and then going to the Greyhound bus terminal with my mother. There, she would pay to have a box shipped to the Midwest. This had to be done weeks in advance. My relatives would go down to the bus station…
