Could either of you refresh my memory? Was a case based on the Lautenberg amendment challenged on its ex post facto provision, but SCOTUS declined to grant "cert", i.e. refused to hear the case?

Doctor Timothy Emerson remains in prison to this day on the basis that he possessed a firearm despite the fact that his wife had a restraining order against him. He did not commit any other crime, but the Supreme Court refused to hear his case.

Thanks for refreshing my memory about Emerson. IIRC, that means they couldn't get four votes to agree to hear it. A supermajority of SCOTUS is shameless.
