The US Supreme Court this morning released their list of orders after considering “The Magnificent Seven” cases last Thursday in conference. The good news? They didn’t deny cert in our case (reject our appeal). The bad news? They rejected the Bianchi case out of Maryland. (Giving plenty of clickbait opportunities for YouTube “creators”.)
Our case and the five others from Illinois remain pending.
(Added: Todd Vandermyde believes that the fact our cases weren’t mentioned today means they were automatically “re-listed” among pending certiorari applications.)
We have a meeting with our attorneys later today to discuss this.
My hot take is that if they found our cases truly compelling, they would have put us on the docket for next year. Or, given the number of cases they reviewed, perhaps they didn’t get to evaluating the other cases as part of the Magnificent Seven. We just don’t know.
Here’s the link to the SCOTUS website to see the order.
The wheels of justice turn slowly the saying goes. And in the case anything regarding the 2nd Amendment. Some of the wheels appear to have lost some air. Causing them to turn even slower.
Here is an excellent take on this story from “The Four Boxes Diner” While the Illinois cases may appear, up in the air; its not over according to Mark Smith. Sad part is our rights, duties and obligations are on hold until at least 5 people decide to protect our rights
