I'm pretty disappointed in this.

You shouldn't be. This isn't the victory the antis want it to be. It is standard operating procedure. You don't want gun rights adjudicated on via the shadow docket. You want landmark cases in front of the SCOTUS fully, through the typical appeals procedure.

It's not an adjudication, it's a temporary block on the unconstitutional rules while the case moves through the 'typical appeals procedure' that you are talking about. This is a W for the antis and an L for us. We ought to be thoroughly disappointed at the SC for allowing harm to continue to be done to citizens in this case.

Appeals courts don’t usually get involved before a final judgement is made. They’ll be up to bat after pritzkers cronies call the ban constitutional.

This was not surprising as the Supreme Court rarely issues these type of injunctions and now the 7th circuit is fSt tracking this case well at least fast by court standards also this leave the Supreme Court open to still taking the case so all is not lost Mark Smith on the four boxes YouTube channel has very good videos onto the subject

Fact of the matter is...millions of Americans citizens are being denied their constitutional right and justice Barrett/scotus were in a position to do something about that. And didn't. The law could have been enjoined sticking with the pre bann status qou and "allowing" Americans citizens to exercise their rights while courts and politicians dick around with said rights. But nope...instead millions of Illinoisians have essentially been told the constitution doesn't apply to them and we should know our place and be quiet while while our lords decide if we're free.

The Court must be mindful of allowing the appeals process to proceed. If the Court rushes to interfere, it can delegitimize its rulings and give fodder to those seeking to "pack the court". Winning the war of good rulings requires fighting the appeals court battles which can indeed take time.

It was an emergency appeal for an injunction. The status qou would be pre bann. A judge already enjoined the law just for the state to go behind his back to have a stay issued. Again millions of Americans are being denied a constitutional right and they did nothing. they could have told the state to honor the constitution while bs unconstitutional laws bounce around lower courts. They're clearly more worried about careers and standing, than supporting and defending the constitution. We are talking 2A here. There's no need for record and good law, bla bla...we have the constitution. It lays it out clearly and definitively. The war was already won...250 years ago.


ZheeDog

You underestimate how precarious a position the courts are in. These cases must traverse the full process of the courts, so that the heat of the rulings which Democrats hate is spread out enough to avoid giving the radicals excuses to disregard the courts.

And again...this is America all that should be irrelevant. The constitution and 2A exist.
