"I am NOT "an NRA guy" as you suggest."
Didn't mean to suggest you were, sir. My apologies for not being more clear with you.
And I sure do understand why you'd want to make that very clear. :-)
I was referring to the robot who admits he "trusts without question" whatever is issued from guys with no successful Second Amendment litigation under their belts.
I trust nobody or nothing until I question thoroughly and make sound determinations based on facts, reason, logic and Principles. Too bad more people don't question but prefer to blindly follow. I'd say that's the source of lots of problems in this nation.
NOTE: This message is not intended to offend any avowed blind followers among us. It's just my opinion of sheep, that's all.
"The only client I have represented in the Supreme Court (or any other court) in the last five years is the American Civil Rights Union, a legal charity whose Board includes Robert Bork, Edwin Meese, and Walter Williams."
I believe their Executive Director contacted us with interest in filing an amicus brief in the Silveira case, but I believe we dropped the ball. (I assume full responsibility for that ball dropping. We were very busy, as you might imagine.) Would've been nice to have seven (7) amici instead of the six (6) that we have.
BTW, you're a Supreme Court litigant -- perhaps you can answer a question. Have you ever seen so many amici filed in support of cert? If so, could you direct us to such a case, please -- we can't find any with that many before cert was granted, and we're sure there must be one somewhere. It'd be pretty amazing if we set a new record. Send to Director@KeepAndBearArms.com.
And if a Mr. Ferrara is the exec. dir. of your client, please let them know that they are still certainly welcome to file a brief once cert. is granted. The more the merrier; the anti-rights yahoos are sure to file plenty. Hey, maybe Kopel, Michel and Halbrook should all pool their talents to oppose cert! That's a novel idea.
