With the oral argument set for March 2, the briefs keep coming in for the McDonald v. City of Chicago case. This case could undo a 120+ year old case and could usher in a new era of Constitutional jurisprudence. My resource page with briefs, media, links to the ABA teleconference I'll be moderating and more is here.
The recent Amicus briefs are still being posted on the official ABA website, but two are available now. These briefs are both in support of the City of Chicago.
Amicus Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence's Brief in Support of Respondent - this brief seeks to clarify that the Second Amendment right to bear arms does not extend to unlawful acts, like insurrection (comment - you don't hear THAT word too often).
Amicus Anti-Defamation League's Brief in Support of Respondent - this brief counsels the Court to consider the impacts of any decision on the need for gun laws to fulfill the legitimate aims of municipal governments to combat extremism.
We will keep the resource page updated with the latest briefs. Stay tuned.
