Possible New SCOTUS gun case?
From reader LE45:
SCOTUS
has ordered Alameda County to reply to Nordyke's petiton for cert even
though Alameda had waived its right to file a reply. Known as a Call
For Reply (CFR),such an order
is extremely rare and is proof that at least one justice wants to hear
the case and is an indication that said justice believes that 3 other
justices will go along and grant cert. Such an order
greatly increases the probability that SCOTUS will grant cert.This
is Don Kilmer's and Don Kates' case that has been kicked around in the
9th Circuit since 1999 (well before Heller) and involves the banning of
gun
shows on county fairgrounds in Alameda County. So we may have another
gun case in front of SCOTUS this term.
