First of amicus briefs online

Posted by David Hardy · 7 February 2008 05:18 PM

ScotusBlog has the first amicus briefs supporting Heller & individual rights online. These are just the earliest filings. Deadline isn't until Monday. That's for filing with the clerk. Our printer's deadline, in order to meet that deadline, is crack of dawn tommorrow.

Take a look at the one from the Buckeye Firearms Fdn.. I liked the argument stating that DC's 911 system "is a joke."

Making final changes on Academics for the 2nd Amendment now -- to be precise, sending them over to Joe Olson for him to look at. This one is going to hit hard, very hard. Working at it now, weighing each footnote. Take this one out, we save 27 words. Could 27 new words be written that would have greater impact than the existing fn? (You get 9000 words, and we're right up against that).

Mr. Hardy or anyone care to comment on the Rutherford Institutes's inclusion of racist origins of gun control swaying liberal types on the court, especially since it's an election year?

Tom, the Congress of Racial Equality brief deals with that as well...I've not read Ruthorford Inst., but I would guess that the CRE brief is more involved. It's on the ABA website.

David, we are looking forward to your hard-hitting brief. If there was ever a time for academic "perfectionism"...weighing every word a and character, this is it. Best regards for those 9000...
