Rather than waiting for the occasional perfect & well-funded case to arise and slowly writhe thru the system (usually to be slapped down by maliciousness like in DC), methinks we should have a DIY guidebook for anyone & everyone wanting to preserve their rights without requiring interesting connections or deep pockets. There shouldn’t be 1 bi-annual case begging DC once again to adhere to already-rendered & flatly-ignored verdicts, there should be 1000 plaintiffs individually filing suit at a cost little exceeding pocket change. Likewise, rather than waiting >30 years for 922(o) to be challenged, there should be 10,000 annual plaintiffs demanding their right to standard militia arms; there should be 100,000 cases filed insisting “shall not be infringed” means what it says re: ownership & carry of mundane arms (standard semi-auto pistols & rifles). Rather than risking it all on one case (subject to unexpectedly bad plaintiff, flawed case, or biased judge), accept the odds of failing by multiple cases in differing jurisdictions with a range of plaintiffs, forcing conflicts of verdicts and driving the issue to SCOTUS - and there the justices seeing that it’s not just 0.0000001% of citizens wanting right, but a vast cross-section of law-abiding citizens demanding their rights.
Incrementalism wins these cases. I understand why it’s frustrating, but the result of everyone filing lawsuits is that a leftist court can pick loser cases and use those to establish the law. Then they just dismiss all the others out of hand under the rule that the leftist court established because judges have strong incentives to move their dockets quickly and nothing is quicker than a fast dismissal without discovery or trial.
In 2A litigation there’s attorneys out there who file cases constantly and have gained a reputation for being able to lose really good cases because they either suck as lawyers or because they use it as a money mill to raise donations.
I like Your Idea/Plan!!!
Sir Chode, Ya think this might work in Your world ?
