In the last 2 days, a fairly new member over at MDShooters opined on a couple of subjects. MirandaB claims to be a former civil rights attorney, in private practice for 10 years before starting another business, Just Right Carbines.
First MirandaB explained what was wrong with the
Williams case and why the Supreme Court probably denied cert.
Then today, this person explained the
Masciandaro case and why it might be granted cert.
The explanations go into a bit of depth on both cases, but this gentleman uses plain (non-legalese) language to get his points across. If you are at all interested in this stuff, I believe it is worth your while to read these explanations.
On
Williams, see
this post.
On
Masciandaro, see
this post.
If these won't show, try
this thread.
Williams is post #14 (page 1) and
Masciandaro is post #22 (page 2).
I'm sure our resident attorneys can read this man's posts and glean from them whether or not the guy is being truthful. Just because they ring right to my ears, doesn't mean a thing. I'm not an attorney, just a somewhat knowledgeable commentator.
