It has obviously got ATF very concerned that they can't come up with something to defend themselves with, if they are asking for more time.

That was the TX Case. The response you quoted concerns the PA case (Watson V. Holder)

It's the same DOJ attorney in both cases. The legal issues are substantially similar.

This...looking at the whole case though, it is hard to defend an anti-constitutional law given the work NOLO did and the case he has presented.

I am seriously considering attending.





I have never been in a federal courthouse, only Tarrant County for Jury Duty... other than the "no electronics", are there any other special rules that anyone can share?







Obviously I will leave my CCW and pocket knife in the truck, but anything else beyond "normal"?

Question for Nolo....

Are the oral arguments in Dallas a sure thing?

Or is there a possibility the defense will ask for a continuance and try to drag it out??

No kidding.  I've been in a lot of federal courts, and anyone that wants their side to do well shows up in the best suit they own.

Be damn careful who you talk to and what you say if you go. Playing with the media is a dangerous game.  Nothing you can say can really help, Federal court doesn't depend on anythibf you could do to sway public opinion , and nolo will tell us if he needs more donors.

search for the various terms, in a legal dictionary

it's all very understandable, you just have to recognise that a word may have a different (but usually not entirely distinct from its common) meaning in the legal context

A ruling in our favor is a denial of the governments' motion to dismiss which opens this up to discovery.

The Heller Foundation has chosen to focus our attention on the Hollis case in Texas as it is moving much quicker and seems to be having a much more devastating impact at this time.
