But only in DC. Good for DC residents, not so good for the rest of us.
I don't know if it was this or another thread about Parker v. D.C., but I saw somewhere that if citizens have different rights recognized in different federal jurisdictions, then SCOTUS will have to resolve the issue. Chicago comes to my mind. They can decline to grant cert with Parker, but they won't be able to do it forever, IMHO.
Not true.
First let me say that DC has appealed to the full DC Circuit which has been stacked by Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. Only 3 from Clinton and 1 from Carter. Being led by Reagan appointee Silberman we have a good chance of the decision being affirmed. If that happens SCOTUS may not take it if it is appealed to them. They may let the decision stand.
This decision will set a precedence throughout the country. The DC court is consider the most powerful in the country usually followed by other courts.
