Out of Her Lane
A tyrant wearing black robes in Chicago has been spanked by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in a mandamus order that says to the Obama judge Judge Sarah Ellis in Chicago, you are not allowed to babysit and engage in supervision of the executive branch that violates the United States Constitution. Stand down. [Watch]
Saying “Stop it” is not the same as “spanking.” As every child raised properly knows, there need to be consequences for bad behaviors to discourage them from continuing. In this case, the judge was being an in-your-face apparatchik c_.
Wake me when corporal punishment for robed traitors is in common use. I’d settle for the textual, historical, and traditional practices of impeachment.

COURTROOM AUDIO LIVE: AR & Mag Ban Arguments Reveal How Nefarious These Blue States Actually Are… [Watch]
You don’t need full auto because the government has it? We’re limited to “self-defense”? And only indoors? Anybody see the word “useful” in the Second Amendment…?
Are “average” <3-round limits next?
Everybody’s picking up that it’s “common usage” arguments they’re arguing to impose limits, right?

Train of Thought
Smith doesn’t expect a win at this stage. With a panel of judges appointed by Reagan, Trump, and Biden—but leaning against gun rights—he predicts the court may rule against plaintiffs either on standing or the merits. But that just sets the stage for a bigger battle ahead—potentially at the Supreme Court. [More]
Oh, well then, victory is assured with those eager beavers!

A Right Delayed
There comes a point where it’s simply unbelievable to say that judges actually think that way and aren’t perfectly aware of the tyranny they’re willing parts of.

Deliberate Indifference
Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denies motion for en banc hearing of challenge against Illinois’ gun and magazine ban. “No judge in regular active service has requested a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc, and all members of the original panel have voted to deny panel rehearing,” the docket said Monday. “The petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc is therefore DENIED.” [More]
Will this be a catalyst for SCOTUS?
Point/Counterpoint
As predicted by the Four Boxes Diner, in a 2-1 decision the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit— via a opinion by judges Wood and Easterbrook— have upheld Illinois’s “assault weapon” ban. However there is a strong dissent here. This decision is no shock to Four Boxes Diner viewers because as I explained before, in my view, Judge Wood and Judge Easterbrook are unserious jurists on 2A issues and this was a given outcome (unfortunate and frustrating, yes, but entirely predictable).

The Vichycon Difference!
A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]
Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.
The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.
