Nordyke - Cert filed at SCOTUS

Read the decision here.

I've only skimmed it, but from what I'm seeing, it is a very bad decision. The panel has dismissed the 1A claim and while the case was vacated (as to the 2A claim) and remanded, it was in such a way that the panel has given the district court a roadmap on how to dismiss the 2A claim in its entirety.

After describing how the Alameda ordinance came into being, the panel concludes with this remark:

Quote:
Whatever the intent of the Ordinance, the Nordykes assert
that its effect was to ban gun shows on county property.
Whatever the intent??? The panel just finished describing in detail the intent!

I may have more to say later, after I have completely read and digested the ruling.
