Precisely. As I said (contrary to your above rants), the Supreme Court WILL read those appellate briefs.
And that's just where Olson/Ashcroft placed Bush's "individual rights" message to the SCOTUS.
No...you said that Ashcroft was told to inform the Supreme Court....blah blah blah.
If the appellate court rules for the plaintiff and against the government (hint: this would affirm the plaintiff's second amendment rights) Then presumably, the government would NOT appeal the ruling and the Supreme Court wouldn't need to hear the case.
You were wrong before and you're wrong now because you are arguing from a position of ignorance. You're making it up as you go.
