Hey, if Biden can do it for the Supreme Court, what’s the big deal with his home state doing it for the locals?

All that furious shouting combined with extreme hand gestures reminds me of someone else’s speech style that was persuasive to angry masses.

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will consider for a second time whether to hear Raland J. Brunson v. Alma S. Adams, a case that alleges Congress had a duty to investigate claims of fraud and impropriety in the 2020 national election, and that member votes against doing so amounted to treason. [More]

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul appealed to the 5th District Appellate Court in Mount Vernon Monday to overturn a temporary restraining order against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which bans dozens of handguns and rifles, .50-caliber guns, certain attachments and accessories, and limits cartridges to 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for pistols.

On the plus side, it’ll end up heading to the Bruen court…

From David T. Hardy, via an email discussion concerning SCOTUS declining to hear a challenge to New York concealed carry laws:
It just declined to grant a stay pending appeal (or, to be more exact, refused to overrule the 2nd Circuit’s decision to grant a stay), which is not really refusing to hear the case. The two dissenters suggested they were ready to jump down the 2nd Circuit’s throat if it didn’t do the right thing.
The 2nd Circuit is going to look at this case very carefully….
Napoleon, when someone was going into detail on a particular general’s military virtues and why he deserved promotion, cut him off with “Enough, tell me one thing — is he lucky?” Meaning, I think, does he get results that no one expected. The attorney in the case, Steven Stamboulieh, appears to be very, very, lucky. He is someone to watch, now and ten years from now when we in the old guard are gone.
Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]
How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.
I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.
Maybe somebody’s got pictures?

In contrast, a little-known case that appeared recently on the Court docket could do just that. The case of Brunson v. Adams, not even reported in the mainstream media, was filed pro se by ordinary American citizens – four brothers from Utah — seeking the removal of President Biden and Vice President Harris, along with 291 U.S. representatives and 94 U.S. senators who voted to certify the electors to the Electoral College on Jan. 6, 2021 without first investigating serious allegations of election fraud in half a dozen states and foreign election interference and breach of national security in the 2020 presidential election. The outcome of such relief would presumably be to restore Donald Trump to the presidency. [More]
Wake me when SCOTUS agrees to hear it.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away another challenge to a federal ban imposed under former President Donald Trump on devices called “bump stocks” that enable a semi-automatic weapon to fire like a machine gun. The justices declined to review an appeal by a group of firearms dealers and individuals in Minnesota, Texas and Kentucky after a lower court rejected their argument that the government had violated the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment “takings clause” by effectively taking their private property without just compensation. [More]
As noted before, all the High Court needs to do to let tyranny stand is…nothing.
And thanks again, Donald.

Comments too large and detailed for the comments section on the granting of cert in Morin v. Lyver [More]
WarOnGuns Correspondent “Remarks” gives us some detailed observations on the Massachusetts gun case SCOTUS “remanded … for further consideration in light of” Bruen.
Morin v. Lyver is a follow-up challenge to the lifetime ban on the issuance of a License to Carry to anyone conviction of a minor, non-violent misdemeanor if the offense involves a weapon or ammunition and where a term of imprisonment may be imposed… Dr. Morin has since applied for and was issued a Firearms Identification Card. However, his application for a Permit to Purchase was denied.
You can have the card but you can’t have the gun? Some Masshole government POS decided that? Really?
