It's been over a month.
Is there supposed to be a judge's response to this brief?
Here is something from that:
"As described, the petitioner asks this Court to decide “whether a state can impose a lifetime ban on purchasing handguns (but not possessing them) against anyone who has been convicted of a nonviolent misdemeanor that involved the possession or use of guns.” Pet. i. The petitioner does not allege any conflict among the federal courts of appeals or between state courts of last resort over this question."
II. Bruen Does Not Alter the Conclusion That the Petition Should Be Denied. For all the reasons previously discussed, this case should not be granted, vacated, and remanded in light of this Court’s decision in Bruen. The sole basis for the First Circuit’s affirmance was the petitioner’s failure to offer any argument on whether the restrictions on his ability to obtain firearms comported with this Second Amendment. See supra, at 14-15. And the petitioner has not asked this Court to review the First Circuit’s application of the appellate waiver doctrine. ... Nor does the petitioner contend that the First Circuit’s appellate waiver analysis would be affected by the applicable methodology for analyzing Second Amendment claims. And, unlike other matters in which this Court granted the petition, vacated the judgment, and remanded in light of Bruen, the petitioner does not maintain here that the outcome of his appeal would have been different under the “methodology centered on constitutional text and history” clarified in Bruen. ..."
That's a whole lot of jibber-jabber. Wasn't there a law requiring them to use plain English some years ago?
Anyhow, is this case still open, or is it pretty much done now?
