Three good court rulings
David Workman has a report. In the first, the Supreme Court denied New York's request to extend briefing schedules so that it could repeal the ordinances being challenged, and thus moot the case. That's why I've been slaving on an amicus brief rather than blogging...
New York did itself no favors when, in its request to the Court, it said it still believed in the utility of the ordinances. That left it open to a counter-stroke, which Paul Clement promptly and eloquently delivered, arguing NY's move was a transparent attempt to bail out of a lost case at the last moment.

Hear Hear !
....Your Dred Scott book was magnificent. Such perfidy and dishonesty couldn't exist today. Right ?
...Then again, Chief Justice Roberts wrote both sides of the ObamaCare decision and changed his vote to jigger the case law to his political leanings. Tax indeed.
Our judges have caused the greatest damage to the Constitution. Their incorrect predilections have totally destroyed any semblance of the current state of affairs to a proper Constitutional state of affairs. We the People have failed to restrain our judges and remind them that they work FOR US not that We are subordinate to them. If it were not for the supreme court's ruling in Barron (1833) we wouldn't have to fight all these fights over and over and over. Want something screwed up/ Let the government do it. Want something impossible to correct? Let the courts decide.
Learn the truth, that the courts have no authority to decide what the Constitution means BECAUSE the courts are created by the Constitution which was created by We the People through our State. We the People AND the States are superior to the Constitution while the federal government, esp the courts, is inferior to it. Fundamental Law Theory - the subordinate is not empowered to define the superior.
Because of the great trust I have in their sense of duty and fidelity to their oaths, I'm certain the judges, attorneys, and bureaucrats will follow the intent of the Constitution.
Forgive me, I could barely type that without puking.
The only thing I'm sure of is that like DC, they will do whatever they think they can get away with.
Hey, Mike:
To be sure, one needs to recognize that the judicial copies of the Constitution are triple spaced print so the judges can really read between the lines.
I appreciate all that you do, Dave.
